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.

Won't play Tuesday Jensen will be rested against Chicago on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Jensen missed four games in mid-March due to a lower-body injury, so it is likely the team is trying to avoid a recurrence of that issue by resting him.

Impact Jensen last suited up March 13 and has missed four consecutive games. The right-shot defenseman has contributed three goals, 19 points and a plus-17 rating over 60 appearances this season.

Ruled out again Thursday Jensen (lower body) will be unavailable for Thursday's clash with Colorado, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Impact Jensen will be on the shelf for his third consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body injury. In his last 12 appearances, the 34-year-old blueliner has recorded a lone point to go with nine shots, five hits and 16 blocks. Even once cleared to play, Jensen is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his offensive limitations.

Impact Jensen didn't play Saturday against Toronto and was absent from Monday's practice session while tending to his apparent injury. He'll likely be unavailable again Tuesday, and assuming he's sidelined, his next chance to suit up would be Thursday against the Avalanche.
