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

Senators' Nick Jensen: Exits Thursday's game
Rotowire
Jensen (undisclosed) did not finish Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Jensen took a handful of short shifts in the third period but retreated to the locker room and didn't return. The 34-year-old defenseman's status was not updated after the contest. That leaves him questionable to play Saturday against the Maple Leafs -- if he can't go, either Jake Sanderson (lower body) will draw back in or the Senators will need to make a roster move for a blueliner.

Senators' Nick Jensen: Two points in shootout win
Rotowire
Jensen scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins.
After having a hand in an Adam Gaudette tally early in the first period that opened the scoring, Jensen sparked a Sens rally from a 5-3 deficit late in the third by slipping a shot through heavy traffic and past Jeremy Swayman. It was Jensen's first goal and first multi-point performance since Dec. 13, but he's been picking up his scoring pace in January, collecting five points in the last seven contests.

Rotowire
Jensen posted an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Senators' Nick Jensen: Practices Monday
Rotowire
Jensen (illness) participated in Monday's practice, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Jensen should be available to play against Detroit on Tuesday after skipping Sunday's session. According to TSN 1200 Ottawa, he appeared to favor his right leg during a drill in Monday's session, but if that isn't a problem, he should be in the lineup versus the Red Wings. Jensen has two goals, 13 points, 45 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 37 hits in 38 appearances this season. Still, Ottawa may recall another defenseman ahead of Tuesday's game for insurance after Jacob Bernard-Docker (lower body) sustained an injury in Monday's practice and Travis Hamonic (lower body) was placed on injured reserve.

Senators' Nick Jensen: Bags two apples in loss
Rotowire
Jensen picked up two assists Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Edmonton.
He's not much of a fantasy scorer -- his best season came in 2022-23 when he scored five goals and added 24 assists in 77 games with the Caps. So this was a nice one-off for the defender. Jensen usually gets under the skin of opponents, which he did Tuesday. Vasily Podkolzin rubbed him into the boards in the second and rode him right into the stanchion by the Oilers bench. Jensen left and returned for the third.
