Tyler Kleven

23-Year-Old DefensemanD
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After getting tastes of NHL action over the previous two campaigns, Kleven logged 79 regular-season appearances with Ottawa in 2024-25, finishing with four goals, 10 points, 27 PIM, 78 shots, 105 hits and 97 blocks. Those aren’t bad numbers for a 23-year-old, especially when you consider that he averaged a modest 14:28 of ice time. Although Kleven will likely remain in a third-pairing role this campaign, it would not be surprising to see his playing time increase. Don’t expect him to impress you with his offensive numbers, but he’ll probably top his 2024-25 numbers in terms of PIM, hits and blocks by modest amounts. Read Past Outlooks

Two helpers against Habs
DOttawa Senators
December 3, 2025
Kleven notched two assists while adding two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Montreal.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old blueliner doubled his point total on the season with his first multi-point performance. Kleven has seen a bigger workload while Thomas Chabot (upper body) has been on the shelf, averaging nearly 20 minutes of ice time over the last nine games, but that hasn't resulted in a significant increase in his fantasy appeal -- during that stretch he has three assists, 16 blocked shots, 10 shots on net, six hits and a minus-1 rating.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kleven played primarily in the minors last season, recording five goals, 21 points and 51 PIM in 53 regular-season games with AHL Belleville, but he also recorded an assist, nine blocks and eight hits in nine contests with Ottawa. The 22-year-old defenseman is set to compete for a third-pairing spot at the NHL level during the Senators' training camp, and there's a decent shot of him winning that battle. Kleven doesn't have much offensive upside, but he might be a decent source of hits, blocks and PIM if he plays regularly.

ANALYSIS
Kleven hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 26. He has two goals, four points, 23 PIM, 70 hits and 76 blocks over 58 appearances in 2024-25. If Kleven does play Saturday, it will probably be as part of the third pairing.
