Here’s the latest on Tyler Kleven:
- Recent status: Ottawa Senators defenseman Tyler Kleven was deemed week-to-week with an upper-body injury in early April 2026 and was later listed as out indefinitely, with a re-evaluation planned in the following week. This situation cast doubt on his postseason availability for the 2025-26 campaign.[1][3]
- Impact and context: Kleven had stepped into heavier minutes during a stretch as Ottawa navigated injuries on the blue line, contributing several points, hits, and a high shot volume before the injury. Reports indicated the injury occurred during a win over Buffalo, limiting his remaining regular-season action.[3][1]
- Potential return: There were discussions about a possible return in Round 1 of the playoffs, depending on re-evaluation and recovery, but the timeline remained uncertain as of mid-April 2026.[4]

The Ottawa Senators added top defenseman Jake Sanderson back to the lineup on Saturday – but their luck with injuries isn’t on the upswing yet. Sanderson’s return filled in for Tyler Kleven, who is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen.

www.cbssports.comYou might not have noticed, which is odd considering the subject in question is a 6-foot-5, 220-pound defenseman, but Tyler Kleven was all over the place during the Ottawa Senators’ too-short-but-still-inspiring 2025 playoff run. His shot-pass from the point was tipped to tie the score in Game 2, his poised breakout led to another tying goal in Game 3, and his sense to jump up into the play and gain the zone led to the Senators’ overtime goal in Game 4.
