Kleven (upper-body) is questionable to play in Game 1 in Carolina.

Kleven missed the final seven games of the regular season and is questionable to play in Game 1 in Carolina. Kleven was on the ice for Friday's practice, but skated as an extra, signalling that he may be unavailable to open the series. Head coach Travis Green said that Kleven is closer to playing, but likely won't announce any lineup changes ahead of warmups.

Kleven (upper body) exited Thursday's game and did not return.

The Senators are already without three blueline regulars in Jake Sanderson (upper body), Nick Jensen (knee), and Thomas Chabot (upper body), and added Kleven to the list on Thursday. The 24-year-old Kleven has seen a massive uptick in playing time as a result of team injuries, but exited Thursday's 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres early in the first period after taking a puck to the face.
