Kleven notched a power-play assist and two hits in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Hurricanes.
Kleven also saw ample power-play time, which is a new wrinkle for him, but it's unlikely to last into the playoffs when Thomas Chabot (rest) returns to the lineup. Kleven ended the regular season with three assists over his last nine games. He had a total of 10 points, 78 shots on net, 105 hits, 97 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 79 regular-season contests while primarily working on the third pairing.

Senators' Tyler Kleven: Offense slips away again
Rotowire
Kleven was held off the scoresheet for the 13th straight game in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers.
In that span, Kleven is minus-4 with 12 hits, 23 blocked shots and 16 shots on net. The 23-year-old defenseman has been a fixture on the third pairing this season, but it's his defensive work and physical play that have kept him there, along with a few injuries to other blueliners. Kleven is at four points, 53 shots on net, 68 hits, 72 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 56 appearances in 2024-25.

Senators' Tyler Kleven: Remains quiet on offense
Rotowire
Kleven has not recorded a point over his last 12 games since scoring Nov. 27 versus the Sharks.
The 22-year-old defenseman has just two points through 34 outings this season. Kleven has seen steady time on the Senators' third pairing but as more of a shutdown presence. He's added 29 shots on net, 44 hits, 37 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while averaging 14:22 of ice time. Kleven's lack of offense gives him minimal fantasy appeal.

Senators' Tyler Kleven: Called up Saturday
Rotowire
Kleven was recalled from AHL Belleville on Saturday.
With Erik Brannstrom (concussion), Thomas Chabot (hand) and Artem Zub (upper body) all sidelined, Kleven will likely step into a bottom-pairing role in Saturday's matchup with the Penguins. The 21-year-old Kleven offers some offensive upside from the blue line, earning a pair of assists in eight NHL outings last season.
