Status report

Jensen did not take part in the Senators morning skate Tuesday, but will play. ... George is expected to return after missing three games with an upper-body injury. ... Sorokin, who missed a 2-1 win at the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday because of illness, isn’t completely healthy but will back up Hogberg, who made 21 saves Saturday.
