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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jensen (undisclosed) will talk to his doctors about a game plan for his injury and hopes to be ready for training camp, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jensen was "grinding a bit to get through (the injury)" during the playoffs. He dealt with a lingering lower-body issue during the 2024-25 campaign but didn't confirm that was the problem during Saturday's media availability. Jensen could have surgery in the offseason, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia. The 34-year-old Jensen had three goals, 18 assists, a plus-18 rating, 55 hits and 95 blocked shots across 71 regular-season contests.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jensen will be rested against Chicago on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

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. With both Jensen and Jake Sanderson (rest) sitting Tuesday, Tyler Kleven could see a nice uptick in ice time while Nikolas Matinpalo will step into the lineup after being scratched against the Flyers on Sunday.

Jensen posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Jensen ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. That stretch also included a span of four contests when the defenseman was out with a lower-body injury. He's up to 20 points -- reaching that mark for the third time in the last four seasons -- while adding 75 shots on net, 84 blocked shots, 53 hits and a plus-19 rating over 68 appearances.

Jensen (lower body) will play against Buffalo on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Jensen will return to a second-pairing role after missing the last four games. He has compiled three goals, 19 points, 66 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and 47 hits in 60 appearances this season. Jensen will replace Nikolas Matinpalo in Tuesday's lineup.

Jensen (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game in Buffalo, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

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. Jensen will likely replace one of Travis Hamonic or Nikolas Matinpalo in a bottom-four role once he's ready to return.

Jensen (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Devils, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Jensen will miss his fourth straight game due to the injury. The 34-year-old's next chance to play is Tuesday in Buffalo. Once Jensen is cleared to play again, he'll likely retake a second-pairing role as a shutdown defender.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jensen is dealing with an apparent mid-body or lower-body injury and is unlikely to play in Tuesday's game against Montreal, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
