Jensen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Jensen had gone four games without a point prior to Wednesday. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, 12 points, 30 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 27 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 44 appearances. He's been given two games off since the holiday break, one of which was in a back-to-back set. It looks like the Senators will manage Jensen's workload a bit, at least while the team is fully healthy on the blue line.

Jensen scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Jensen was a healthy scratch Monday versus the Blue Jackets. Prior to that, he had logged a mere four assists over 20 contests since his Nov. 11 goal versus the Stars. The defenseman has been limited to a bottom-four role this season, which makes it hard for him to be a regular on the scoresheet. He's at nine points, 24 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 26 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 38 appearances. Jensen is at risk of missing the 20-point mark for the second time in three years.

Jensen logged an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Jensen snapped a 10-game point drought when he helped set up Brady Tkachuk's second goal of the contest. The 35-year-old Jensen saw 19:16 of ice time Thursday, his highest total since Nov. 11. He's been firmly in a bottom-four role this season, which limits his appeal in fantasy, especially since he didn't have a high ceiling to begin with. Jensen is at seven points, 21 shots on net, 22 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 33 appearances.

Jensen (upper body) is expected to play against the Kings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Jensen scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jensen supplied an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
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 after undergoing hip surgery 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.

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

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jensen (hip) is not limited at practice but doesn't have a timeline to play in preseason games, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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 dress against 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.
