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. |

Kleven recorded an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres. - Kleven ended a six-game point drought with the helper. He has four points over his last 11 outings and has looked a little more confident on offense in recent weeks after struggling in that area for much of the season. He's at eight points, 69 shots on net, 92 hits, 90 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across 71 contests in 2024-25, his first full NHL campaign. |

Kleven scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins. - Kleven is mostly a shutdown defenseman, but he has a goal in each of his last two games, as well as six shots on net and eight hits. The 23-year-old has held down a third-pairing role throughout the campaign. The offense is unlikely to last given his skill set. He's at four goals, two assists, 61 shots on net, 81 hits, 81 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 62 appearances. |

Kleven scored a goal on three shots, added seven hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers. - The goal snapped a 17-game point drought for Kleven. The 23-year-old defenseman rarely makes much of an impact on offense while playing in a third-pairing role. For the season, he has three goals, two assists, 58 shots on net, 80 hits, 80 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 61 appearances. |

Kleven (lower body) didn't accompany the Senators for the team's two-game road trip, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Monday. - Kleven will miss his second straight game against Washington on Monday and presumably won't be available for Wednesday's matchup versus Chicago. He has accounted for two goals, four points, 54 shots on net, 76 blocked shots and 70 hits across 58 appearances this season. It's unclear when Kleven will be ready to return to the lineup. |

Kleven (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Sharks, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports. - Kleven exited Wednesday's game against the Jets due to a lower-body injury that he sustained in a fight, but he's apparently dealing with a strain that is unrelated to the scuffle. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to suit up will be Monday in Washington. |

Kleven (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Jets. - Kleven was hurt after a fight with Adam Lowry in the first period. The 23-year-old Kleven has gone 15 games without a point, so his absence is not likely to make an impact in fantasy. The Senators have dressed seven defensemen lately, so they may not need to immediately bring up a blueliner if Kleven is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Sharks. |

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. |

Kleven scored a goal, logged four hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Penguins. - This tally ended an 18-game slump on offense for Kleven, and it also set the tone for a blowout win. The 23-year-old defenseman has been a fixture on the Senators' third pairing, but he brings little to the table on offense. He has three points, 36 shots on net, 54 hits, 44 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 41 appearances, so most fantasy managers can look elsewhere for help on the blue line. |

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. |

Kleven scored a goal and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks. - Kleven's first NHL goal came in his 39th career appearance. The tally was his first point in November and just his second point through 22 outings. Kleven has maintained a steady third-pairing role, but he's averaging a meager 14:24 of ice time per game. He's produced 19 shots on net, 33 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. The 22-year-old's progress likely doesn't need to be tracked in redraft formats in 2024-25, and his appeal in keeper leagues is not particularly high either. |

Kleven notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche. - The helper was Kleven's first point in eight games this season, matching his output from nine NHL contests in 2023-24. The 22-year-old defenseman has been a regular on the Senators' third pairing as one of three left-shot blueliners on the roster. He's added nine shots on net, 15 hits, 11 blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating. Kleven is unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy, but he's racking up plenty of production in the physical categories. |

Kleven was demoted to AHL Belleville on Friday. - Kleven was pointless in four games during his recent recall. The defenseman has one assist in nine NHL games this season, averaging 12:39 of ice time. Look for Thomas Chabot (lower body) to return to the lineup this weekend -- replacing Kleven. |

Kleven was elevated from AHL Belleville on Thursday. - Kleven's promotion doesn't bode well for the availability of Thomas Chabot (lower body) against the Blackhawks on Thursday. Even with Kleven joining the team, he is far from a lock for a spot in the lineup, as Travis Hamonic figures to have the inside track if called upon. Still, Kleven does offer some offensive upside with 17 points in 45 minor-league contests this season. |

Kleven was assigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday. - Kleven has one assist, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits in five appearances with Ottawa this season. He also has two helpers in four AHL contests this campaign. Kleven could be back with the big club prior to Friday's matchup with the Islanders. |

Kleven earned an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs. - Kleven is currently up with the Senators, as the parent club remains thin on the blue line due to injuries for Erik Brannstrom (concussion), Artem Zub (upper body) and Thomas Chabot (hand). Last year, Kelven averaged 1:03 of ice time on the power play over the first eight games of his NHL career, but he's yet to seize such an opportunity this campaign. It's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Kelven since he's just 21 years old with his playing time currently dependent on the health of others. |
