Jensen logged an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
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 Chychrun 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.

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

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

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jensen (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 3 against the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jensen was finally able to ditch the non-contact jersey at Friday's game-day skate, which would 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 games before getting hurt.

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

Jensen (upper body) could rejoin the lineup versus the Rangers for Game 2 on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jensen was bogged down in a seven-game point drought 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.

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

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