Tyler Kleven

24-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
$Signed a two-year, $3.2 million contract with the Senators in June of 2025.
Opens scoring Tuesday
DOttawa Senators
January 21, 2026
Kleven scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
ANALYSIS
The goal was Kleven's first of the season, and it was just his second point in 12 outings since he returned from a lower-body injury. The defenseman remains firmly in a third-pairing role, but he's done well to keep Nikolas Matinpalo in the press box. Kleven is at seven points, 51 shots on net, 72 hits, 65 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 44 appearances.

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.
