Jensen (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Toronto and Sunday against Utah, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Hamonic (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to action Saturday against the Maple Leafs, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

The Senators will get some reinforcements back on the blue line Saturday due to the returns of Hamonic and Jake Sanderson (lower body). Hamonic missed Ottawa's previous 10 contests after logging three assists in his first 37 games this season.

Sanderson (lower body) will play Saturday against Toronto, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Sanderson will rejoin the Senators after missing just one game with the injury. The 22-year-old blueliner has two goals, 25 points and a minus-17 rating through 47 games this season. Sanderson will return to the top pairing and could see time on the first power-play unit versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Mateychuk (illness) will return to the lineup versus the Kings on Saturday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

The highly-regarded defenseman missed the last three games with the illness. Mateychuk has one goal, two assists and 21 blocked shots in 12 games this season. He will play alongside Ivan Provorov on the second pairing.

Marino notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Marino has picked up two helpers over six outings since returning from a lower-back surgery. The 27-year-old saw 22:56 of ice time Friday, his second-highest total so far. Marino has added six shots on net, two hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He should continue to see top-four minutes and may offer enough offense to be an option in deep fantasy formats.

Kesselring managed a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Kesselring has four points, including two on the power play, over his last seven contests. This was also the first time he's taken a minus rating in that span.

Kesselring has 19 points (three on the power play), 91 shots on net, 55 hits, 41 blocked shots, 56 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 48 appearances.

Pionk managed an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over Utah.

Pionk has earned four points over his last six outings. He assisted on the empty-netter that secured a hat trick for Cole Perfetti in this contest. Pionk is up to 32 points through 50 appearances -- he's one point shy of matching his output from the entirety of the 2023-24 regular season. The blueliner has added 81 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 76 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-9 rating in his usual second-pairing role.

The 23-year-old blueliner is up to three goals, two helpers, 22 shots on net, 39 hits, 30 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 19 contests this season.
