Senators’ Nick Jensen out long-term with knee surgery
Defenceman Nick Jensen will undergo meniscus surgery and miss an extended period of team, head coach Travis Green told reporters on Tuesday.
Jensen joins fellow blue-liner Jake Sanderson on the shelf. However, Sanderson is expected to return to skating next week, Green said.
The 35-year-old Jensen has not played since Wednesday, after which he was listed out day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
He has appeared in 61 games this season after an off-season hip surgery, registering four goals and 13 assists.
Sanderson has been out since March 7 with an upper-body injury and was ruled out week-to-week.
The Olympic gold medallist has 11 goals and 37 assists in 62 games with Ottawa on the season.
The Senators are back in action Wednesday against the Washington Capitals (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT).
