First goal of season Jenson scored a goal Thursday in a 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact It was Jensen's first goal of the season and first as a Sen. It was also his first point in six games. He isn't known for his offense, but he looked every part the scorer Thursday. Jensen walked in from the point and beat a screened Semyon Varlamov with a wrist shot glove side. He does have six points in 13 games this season, but don't expect that pace to continue. Jensen is a minute-munching defender whose best season came two years ago with 29 points in 77 games with the Caps. Last season, he put up one goal and 13 assists with 71 shots in 78 games.

Provides pair of assists Jensen notched two assists, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Utah.

Impact Jensen has four helpers over six contests while seeing time in a second-pairing role. The defenseman helped out on the Senators' first two goals Tuesday, which were scored by Drake Batherson and Claude Giroux. Jensen has added eight hits, five blocked shots, six shots on net and a plus-3 rating this season, though he's often chipped in a bit more in the physical categories, having topped 100 hits and blocked shots twice each over the last three seasons.

Earns first helper in new colors Jensen logged an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Jensen's helper on a Tim Stutzle goal was the former's first point as a Senator. The defenseman was traded from Washington in a deal that sent Jakob Chcyhrun to DC. Jensen has less scoring upside than the player he was traded for, instead providing steady defense in a top-four role. The 34-year-old has added four shots on net, two hits and one blocked shot through his first two games with Ottawa.

Heading north in trade Jensen was acquired by the Senators from the Capitals on Monday along with a 2026 third-round draft pick in exchange for Jakob Chychrun.

Impact Jensen had a goal, 14 points, 62 hits and 123 blocked shots in 78 regular-season contests with the Capitals in 2023-24. While Jensen might earn a top-four role with Ottawa, he shouldn't be expected to come close to replacing Chychrun's offensive contributions. The 33-year-old Jensen has two seasons left on his three-year, $12.15 million deal.

Good to go Sunday Jensen (upper body) is in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact As expected, Jensen will return from a five-game absence and make his first appearance of the postseason. He tallied 14 points while averaging 19:38 of ice time in 78 games during the regular season. Jensen will skate in a top-four role Sunday as the Capitals look to avoid a first-round sweep.

Probable for Game 4 Jensen (upper body) will be a game-time call, but he's trending towards playing Sunday against the Rangers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jensen has yet to suit up in the series after missing Washington's final two regular-season games with an upper-body injury. Jensen's return would provide an important boost to the Caps' defensive corps, with Trevor van Riemsdyk (upper body) ruled out. The 33-year-old Jensen had a goal, 14 points and 123 blocked shots in 78 games this year.

APRIL 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Friday Jensen (upper body) will not suit up against the Rangers on Friday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Jensen has now missed five straight games. The veteran blueliner tallied 14 points in 78 games during the regular season. He could return for Game 4 on Sunday.

APRIL 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Friday Jensen (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 3 against the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jensen was finally able to ditch the non-contact jersey at Friday's game-day skate, which would certainly seem to indicate he'll be back sooner rather than later. Still, coach Spencer Carbery wouldn't confirm that the blueliner will play in Game 3. Even if he does suit up, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much offensively out of Jensen considering he went pointless in seven straight before getting hurt.

APRIL 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Tuesday Jensen (upper body) will not be in the lineup against the Rangers for Game 2 on Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jensen was still sporting a non-contact jersey at Tuesday's game-day skate, per Emily Kaplan of ESPN, so he should probably be considered questionable at best heading into Game 3 on Friday. It will be Jensen's third straight match on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. With Rasmus Sandin (upper body) and Vincent Iorio (upper body) also unavailable, Lucas Johansen will make his NHL postseason debut.

APRIL 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Might play in Game 2 Jensen (upper body) could rejoin the lineup versus the Rangers for Game 2 on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jensen was bogged down in a seven-game pointless streak prior to suffering his upper-body injury. During the regular season, the 33-year-old Minnesota native notched just 14 points in 78 games, failing to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time in three years.

APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Jensen (upper body) won't suit up Sunday for the Caps' playoff opener against the Rangers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Jensen missed Washington's final two regular-season games after suffering an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old blueliner had a goal and 14 points with a minus-9 rating in 78 games this year. With both Jensen and Rasmus Sandin out, Alexander Alexeyev, Dylan McIlrath and Vincent Iorio will round out Washington's defensive corps.

APRIL 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Skating before practice Saturday Jensen (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey before practice Saturday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Jensen was stretchered off the ice a week ago against Tampa Bay and missed the last two games of the regular season. Jensen will have to get better in a hurry if he hopes to play in Game 1 versus the Rangers on Sunday. Jensen had 14 points, 62 hits and 123 blocked shots in 78 games during the regular season. Should Jensen be unable to play, expect to see Vincent Iorio remain in the lineup.

APRIL 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Sunday Jensen (undisclosed) was at morning skate Thursday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Impact Jensen sat out the last two games of the season after he was stretchered off the ice Saturday versus Tampa Bay. He had a goal, 13 assists 123 blocked shots and 62 hits in 78 appearances this season. Look for Jensen to be a game-time decision Sunday in Game 1 versus the Rangers.

Won't return in regular season Jensen (undisclosed) was spotted at the Capitals facility Sunday, but he'll miss their remaining two regular-season games, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact It's encouraging to see Jensen back with the team Sunday after he had to leave the ice on a stretcher after crashing into the boards in Saturday's game versus Tampa Bay. While the blueliner will miss the Caps remaining two regular-season contests, he could return for the playoffs, should Washington qualify. Jensen will wrap up the campaign with one goal, 14 points and a minus-9 rating across 78 games.
