Jensen (undisclosed) will talk to his doctors about a game plan for his injury and hopes to be ready for training camp, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Saturday.

Jensen could have surgery in the offseason, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Through six playoff outings, Faulk has three points, 11 shots on net, 16 hits, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating.
