Set to play Jensen (upper body) is expected to play against the Kings on Saturday, according to

Impact After leaving Thursday's 5-3 win over Boston early due to an injury, it appears Jensen won't miss additional action. He participated in Friday's practice and Saturday's morning skate, paving the way for him to remain in the lineup. Jensen has supplied one goal, three assists, 13 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 17 hits across 18 appearances this season.

Sustains upper-body injury Jensen suffered an upper-body injury during Thursday's tilt against Boston and won't return to the game.

Impact Jensen recorded one hit and had a minus-1 rating in 12:02 of ice time before exiting the game. He has a goal and four points in 18 appearances this season, including Thursday's action. If Jensen can't play Saturday versus the Kings, then Ottawa will be down to five healthy defensemen and will need to call someone up from the minors. Thomas Chabot (upper body) is also on the shelf and isn't believed to be close to returning.

First goal of season Jensen scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact It was his first goal of the season. Jensen pinched in from the blue line and finished a passing play by chipping the puck over Jake Oettinger's glove from in tight. He has four points (one goal, three assists) and 13 shots in 17 games this season, and he averages about one hit and one block each game. Jensen's fantasy value is limited, at best.

Contributes first assist of season Jensen supplied an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

Impact This was Jensen's first point in six outings this season. The better news for the Senators is that he appears to be fully recovered from hip surgery he underwent in the offseason, as he's been able to hold down a bottom-four role. The 35-year-old defenseman has posted eight hits, five blocked shots, a minus-3 rating and four shots on net. He's reached the 20-point mark in three of the last four years, but that would likely be a best-case scenario for his offense in 2025-26.

Says he'll play Saturday Jensen (hip) said Friday that he'll play in Saturday's preseason finale against Montreal, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Head coach Travis Green was hopeful that Jensen would be able to suit up in Saturday's preseason finale, and the defenseman will officially be able to make his return to the ice just before the start of the regular season. It seems likely that Jensen will also be available for Thursday's Opening Night matchup against the Lightning.

Could return Saturday Head coach Travis Green said Thursday that he hopes Jensen (hip) will be able to suit up in Saturday's preseason finale against the Canadiens, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

Impact Although Jensen has already been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Blues, he could have an opportunity to suit up to close out the preseason. The 35-year-old underwent offseason hip surgery that has forced him to miss the start of the preseason, but he resumed full participation in practice last week and seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of Opening Night.

Back to full participation Jensen (hip) is not limited at practice but doesn't have a timeline to play in preseason games, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Jensen is still working his way back from offseason hip surgery, so the Sens are likely to take it slow when it comes to pushing him back into the lineup. As such, Jensen won't be in the lineup to face Toronto on Tuesday, but the door remains open for him to play in Sunday's matchup against New Jersey. Regardless of when he plays in the preseason, Jensen looks set to be ready for Opening Night.

Impact Jensen had three goals, 21 points, 77 shots, 55 hits and 95 blocks in 71 regular-season outings with Ottawa last year. Nikolas Matinpalo might draw into the lineup to begin the season if Jensen isn't an option. Jensen's absence would also likely result in Jordan Spence seeing an increase in his ice time after averaging 16:47 during the 2024-25 regular season.

Has surgery Monday in New York Jensen had a procedure in New York on Monday to address a lower-body injury, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Impact According to Garrioch, the surgery went "as planned" for Jensen, but it's unclear how long the 34-year-old blueliner's recovery will take. However, Jensen relayed during the team's exit interviews that he was "hopeful" he would be ready for the start of training camp in September. Jensen should play a meaningful role in the top four again in 2025-26 for a Senators club that made the postseason in 2024-25 for the first time in eight years, provided that he doesn't suffer any setbacks in his recovery this summer. The Minnesota native did not record a point in six games against Toronto in the first round of the 2025 postseason but managed 20:55 of ice time per game, an impressive feat considering he was dealing with a lingering injury.

Slated to return Thursday Jensen (rest) is expected to return for Thursday's regular-season finale against Carolina.

Impact Jensen has been out of the lineup in the last two games due to rest purposes, but he should have one more chance to get on the ice before the start of the playoffs. The 34-year-old has made 70 appearances for the Senators this year, racking up three goals, 18 assists, 89 blocked shots and 55 hits while averaging 20:14 of ice time.
