Jensen, a 23-year-old sixth-year veteran who is currently on recall to the parent New York Rangers, is the top point and goal-scorer on the Wolf Pack club, with 14 goals and ten assists for 24 points in 29 games.

His AHL totals include 67 goals and 50 assists for 117 points, plus 141 penalty minutes. In 30 career NHL contests with the Rangers and Canucks, the 6-3, 217-pound Jensen has posted three goals and three assists for six points, along with 10 PIM. The 2017 AHL All-Star Skills Competition presented by Giant Food Stores and Velaspan on Jan. 29 (7:30 p.m. ET) will pit the All-Stars from the two Eastern Conference divisions against those from the two Western Conference divisions in seven skills events. In the 2017 AHL All-Star Challenge on Jan. 30 (7 p.m. ET), teams of 12 players representing each of the AHL's four divisions will participate in a round-robin tournament featuring six games of 10 minutes each, played entirely at 3-on-3.
