MARCH 22, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Scores twice in return Jensen scored a pair of goals in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Jensen extended the Capitals' lead to 5-3 with eight seconds remaining in the second period, beating Daniil Tarasov with a wrist shot from the point. Jensen would score his second goal in the final frame, going coast-to-coast before burying a backhander. It was quite a return for Jensen, who'd missed Washington's previous two games with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to four goals and 22 assists through 67 games this season.

Set to return Jensen (upper body) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Sammi Silber of Washington Hockey Now reports.

Impact Jensen was out for two games with his upper-body injury. He's expected to fill a top-pairing role for this contest, though John Carlson (face) is getting close and could bump Jensen from that spot when he returns.

Not skating Saturday Jensen (upper body) didn't practice Saturday morning, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact It appears that Jensen will miss a second game Sunday after leaving Wednesday's contest against Buffalo in the third period. The 32-year-old blueliner has two goals, 22 assists, and a minus-1 rating through 66 games this season. If Jensen is unavailable, Gabriel Carlsson would likely remain in the lineup in a bottom-pairing role.

Leaves games in third period Jensen (undisclosed) left Wednesday's game versus the Sabres in the third period, Sammi Silber of Washington Hockey Now reports.

Impact Head coach Peter Laviolette didn't have an update on Jensen's status after the game. The 32-year-old blueliner missed three games recently with an upper-body injury, but it's unclear if this issue is related to his previous absence. He can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Blues.

Good to return Saturday Jensen (upper body) will draw back into the lineup Saturday versus the Islanders, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.

Impact Jensen missed Washington's previous three games because of the injury. He has two goals and 24 points in 63 contests this season. Jensen is projected to play Saturday on a pairing with Martin Fehervary, who is returning from a lower-body injury.

Will not play Thursday Jensen (upper body) practiced Thursday, but will not play versus the Devils. Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jensen was injured against the Ducks on March 1 and has missed the last two games. Jensen had a goal and three points in his last four games, giving the defenseman two goals and 22 assists in 63 contests this season. He has also chipped in with 90 hits and 110 blocked shots in 2022-23.

Not cleared for contact Jensen (upper body) is still wearing a non-contact jersey ahead of Monday's clash with the Kings, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jensen has registered three points in his last five contests but will miss his second consecutive game due to his upper-body issue. With the blueliner sidelined, along with Martin Fehervary (lower body), the Caps will be forced to utilize Alexander Alexeyev and Vincent Iorio as their third pairing.

Exits early Wednesday Jensen (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Ducks.

Impact Jensen, fresh off of signing a three-year contract with the Capitals on Tuesday, was injured and ruled out before the end of the first period Wednesday. The 32-year-old defenseman logged just 2:29 of ice time in the contest, and the quick decision on his status is typically a discouraging sign. More information should be available prior to Saturday's game in San Jose.

Signs on for three more years Jensen signed a three-year, $12.15 million contract with the Capitals on Tuesday.

Impact The Capitals' recent sell-off won't see Jensen leaving the team just yet, though he was gaining some attention as a rental option. The 32-year-old's new deal likely locks him in as a top-four option for years to come. He has a career-best 24 points through 62 contests this season in a similar role.
