Jensen will make his Capitals debut on Sunday.
Line Change
Jensen will not make his Capitals debut until Sunday.
Jensen was acquired from Detroit and signed an extension with Washington on Friday but did not get in until after midnight, so he will sit for their first game. Jensen will likely replace Christian Djoos or Brooks Orpik on Sunday.
The Capitals have signed Nick Jensen to a four-year extension worth $10.0 million ($2.5M AAV).
The Capitals acquired Jensen from the Red Wings on Friday afternoon and wasted no time signing the 28-year-old to an extension. Jensen carried a +1.1 CF% rel in 60 games with the Red Wings this season, picking up two goals and 13 assists (15 points) along the way.
The Capitals have acquired Nick Jensen and a 2019 fifth-round pick from the Red Wings for Madison Bowey and a 2020 second-round pick.
Jensen was a fifth-round pick back in 2009 and was a late-bloomer. Jensen didn’t make his NHL debut until 2017, after 222 career AHL games, and never looked back. Jensen is a reliable two-way defenseman that can be leaned on to kill penalties. He will likely line-up next to Brooks Orpik/Christian Djoos in the third pairing.
The Senators have acquired Vitali Abramov, Jonathan Davidsson, a 2019 first-round pick and a conditional 2020 first-round pick from the Blue Jackets for Matt Duchene and Julius Bergman.
Abramov is a highly touted prospect, who was at the top of the Blue Jackets farm system after being picked in the third-round (No.65 overall) in 2016. The under-sized winger (5-foot-9, 171 lbs) has excellent elusiveness and dangling ability, that he he has used to score 12 goals with 10 assists (22 points) in 52 AHL games this season.
The Senators have recalled Drake Batherson from Belleville (AHL).
With Matt Duchene, Mark Stone and Ryan Dzingel on their way out, Batherson returns to the Senators where he could play a significant role down the stretch. Batherson leads Belleville in points this season with 49 (18G / 31A) in 41 games. During his 17-game stint with Ottawa earlier this season, Batherson scored three goals with five assists (eight points).
