Sabourin's perseverance finally paid off for him when he made his NHL debut at age 27 for the Ottawa Senators against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 2, 2019. The right wing made the most of his big night, scoring his first NHL goal in the 5-3 loss to Toronto.

Before bringing his physical presence to the NHL Sabourin spent the previous seven seasons in the American Hockey League, playing for affiliates of the Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks and Calgary Flames. Prior to turning pro, the Orleans, Ontario native played four seasons (2009-2013) with the Oshawa Generals in the Ontario Hockey League.
