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 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.

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.

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.

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).

Perron remains on IR with an upper-body injury that he suffered in mid-January. Perron will miss his 14th straight game on Thursday but with the Blues rolling like they are right now, there is no need for them to rush the veteran winger back into the lineup.

Ullmark stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Sabres win over the Islanders on Tuesday. Ullmark has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.91 GAA and .907 SV%. Tonight he will face the Rangers at KeyBank Centre where he has gone 7-2-2 with a 3.21 GAA, .901 SV% and one shutout.

Ullmark allowed one goal on 29 shots in the Sabres win over the Red Wings on Saturday. Ullmark has hone 2-0-1 with despite posting a 3.77 GAA and .883 SV% in his first four appearances in February. Tonight he faces a tough Islanders team on home-ice, where he is 6-2-2 with a 3.42 GAA, .897 SV% and one shutout this season.

Ullmark allowed four goals on 45 shots in the Sabres shootout win over the Wild on Tuesday. It was a busy night for Ullmark, who is now 2-4-0 with a 3.32 GAA and .895 SV% in his last eight appearances. The 25-year-old comes in at 5-2-1 with a 3.41 GAA, .900 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season.

Ullmark allowed two goals on seven shots after replacing Carter Hutton in the Sabres loss to the Blackhawks on Friday. Ullmark was really good for a stretch of games in late-December but hasn’t been very good in his last seven outings—going 1-4-0 with a 3.25 GAA and .891 SV%. The 25-year-old has also been much better on the road than he has in Buffalo this season—4-2-1 despite a 3.37 GAA and .898 SV% on home-ice.

Eller was forced to leave Friday’s game with lower-body injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bruins. Eller missed Saturday’s practice but skated on his own beforehand and could be an option on Sunday. Alex Ovechkin will replace Eller if he’s unavailable.

Ullmark gave up four goals on 23 shots in the Sabres loss in Vancouver on January 18th. With Carter Hutton starting last night, Ullmark will get a shot tonight in Dallas. Through 12 games, Ullmark has gone 6-2-2 with a 2.73 GAA, .921 SV% and one shutout. He has shown the ability to steal a game but has had some clunkers as well.

Perron will be replace by Alex Steen, who returns after missing six games with a shoulder injury. This is a tough break for Perron, who was red-hot, scoring nine goals with 11 assists (20 points) in his last 18 games.
