Nick Jensen - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

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

Impact 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.

Probable for Game 4 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.

Impact 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.

Unavailable Friday Jensen (upper body) will not suit up against the Rangers on Friday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Jensen has now missed five straight games. The veteran blueliner tallied 14 points in 78 games during the regular season. He could return for Game 4 on Sunday.

Game-time call Friday Jensen (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 3 against the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jensen was finally able to ditch the non-contact jersey at Friday's game-day skate, which would certainly 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 before getting hurt.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

Might play in Game 2 Jensen (upper body) could rejoin the lineup versus the Rangers for Game 2 on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jensen was bogged down in a seven-game pointless streak 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.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Sunday Jensen (undisclosed) was at morning skate Thursday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Impact Jensen sat out the last two games of the season after he was stretchered off the ice Saturday versus Tampa Bay. He had a goal, 13 assists 123 blocked shots and 62 hits in 78 appearances this season. Look for Jensen to be a game-time decision Sunday in Game 1 versus the Rangers.

Won't return in regular season Jensen (undisclosed) was spotted at the Capitals facility Sunday, but he'll miss their remaining two regular-season games, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact It's encouraging to see Jensen back with the team Sunday after he had to leave the ice on a stretcher after crashing into the boards in Saturday's game versus Tampa Bay. While the blueliner will miss the Caps remaining two regular-season contests, he could return for the playoffs, should Washington qualify. Jensen will wrap up the campaign with one goal, 14 points and a minus-9 rating across 78 games.

Bags two apples Jensen recorded two assists and three shots during Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Jensen had gone five games without hitting the scoresheet prior to Monday's outing. The 33-year-old has managed just one goal and 11 points in 65 games this season and his fantasy stock as receded as a result.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first this season Jensen scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Jensen extended the Caps' lead to 3-0 early in the second period, poking a rebound past Tristan Jarry for his first goal and ninth point in 59 games this season. The 33-year-old blueliner had just one point in 16 games coming into Thursday's contests. It's been a quiet year offensively for Jensen after he posted a career-high five goals and 29 points last season.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action Friday Jensen (lower body) will be in the lineup Friday versus the Flyers, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Jensen sat out a pair of games after he was injured in Florida on Feb. 24. Jenson has eight assists, 42 hits and 85 blocked shots in 56 games this season. He will line up on the second pairing with Joel Edmundsen.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Jensen (lower body) won't be available Tuesday versus the Red Wings, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Jensen will miss his second consecutive contest. He has contributed eight assists, 50 shots on goal and 85 blocked shots in 56 games this season. Ethan Bear is expected to play against Detroit on Tuesday due to Jensen's absence.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Out Monday Jensen (lower body) will not be available Monday against the Senators, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jensen will now miss at least one game after being injured against Florida on Saturday. He was a game-time decision, so he could return as early as Tuesday against the Red Wings. The 33-year-old has eight assists in 56 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Jensen (lower body) will be a game-time decision Monday versus the Senators, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Impact Jensen left the morning skate after a brief appearance on the ice. According to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, the 33-year-old defender crashed into the end boards during the first period of Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Florida. Jensen was able to return for the start of the second period and finished the game. He has earned eight assists, 50 shots on goal and 85 blocked shots in 56 games this season. If Jensen can't play Monday, Ethan Bear is expected to draw back into the lineup.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Secures helper in narrow win Jensen recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Jensen almost assuredly will fail to improve on his prior season's point totals for the first time in four years. Eight helpers represent his output through 53 games, but Jensen hasn't missed a single contest this season, and the no-frills defenseman has an outside chance at setting a new career high in blocked shots having already posted 78 of those in 2023-24.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps scoring drought Jensen registered an assist and added two shots during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

Impact The helper snapped a 12-game point drought for Jensen who has struggled mightily with just three assists and a minus-2 rating in 23 games this season. The Capitals are hoping the 33-year-old -- who signed a three-year, $12.15 million contract extension in February -- can turn things around but Jensen is a negligible fantasy asset at the moment.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three blocks in 500th career game Jensen played 19:24 and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

Impact It was a big game for Jensen -- it was his 500th NHL game. He's fallen off the cliff after a 29-point season in 2022-23 and has just two assists in 15 contests this season. Jensen does get his body in lanes, though, so he will likely give you a 120-block, 100 PIM season. If that helps you.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies helper Jensen registered an assist and added two shots while logging 15:39 of ice time during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Jensen's assist on Dylan Strome's game-tying goal early in the third period snapped a seven-game scoring drought. The 33-year-old missed most of the preseason due to a personal matter but may finally be shaking the rust off following a long offseason. At any rate, more consistent production is needed from the Minnesota native before fantasy managers should take notice.
