The Ottawa Senators signed defenseman Tyler Kleven to a two-year, $3.2 million extension on Monday.

“Tyler’s game elevated as our season progressed,” general manager Steve Staios said in a statement. “He proved to be a reliable defenseman for us during the playoffs, and we expect his game will continue to mature and develop.”

Kleven recorded 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 79 games this past season, averaging 14:28 of ice time per game. He notched two assists in six playoff games, averaging 15:47 of ice time.

Kleven had three assists in 17 total games with the Senators from 2022-24.

The Senators selected Kleven in the second round of the 2020 draft.
