The Canucks sent Nicklas Jensen back down to the AHL on Friday.

Jensen made his NHL debut April 1, and in two games, he was pointless and had a minus-one rating. After coming over from the Swedish Elite League, Jensen recorded four points in 11 AHL games before his first NHL call up.

The Vancouver Canucks also recalled Nicklas Jensen from the minors.

He could very well play his first career NHL game, but we'll see. He's a first-rounder so while his value might be limited now, it's possible he could make an impact in the future.

The Vancouver Canucks could recall Nicklas Jensen from the minors.

The Canucks are hurting up front with David Booth and Zack Kassian the two most recent injuries. Jensen played in the Swedish Elite League this season and was sent to Chicago of the AHL after his SEL season ended a couple of weeks ago. The Canucks could also recall Jordan Schroeder so stay tuned.
Mar 18 - 11:20 AM

Nicklas Jensen has been assigned to AHL Chicago from the Swedish Elite League.

Jensen had 17 goals and 23 points in 50 SEL games. The Canucks took him with the 29th pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Mar 8 - 7:09 PM

Nicklas Jensen will remain with AIK in the SEL and not come over to North America to play in the NHL this season.

Jensen was selected 29th overall in the 2011 Draft and while the Canucks are high on him, it will benefit his long-term success to remain the rest of the season in Sweden. He has a team leading 12 goals for AIK but has only four assists to go with a minus-nine rating. Look to see Jensen in Vancouver training camp in September.
Jan 7 - 1:24 PM

Nicklas Jensen doesn't think they'll be a 2012-13 NHL season.

"I went from not believing there was going to be a lockout to now, where I don’t really believe there will be a season," Jensen said. He figures he'll end up playing out the season with AIK of the Swedish Elite League.

Nicklas Jensen will probably remain in Sweden if and when the NHL lockout ends.

Jensen was the Canucks first pick, 29th overall, in the 2011 Draft and has had a lot of success of late in the Swedish Elite League as he has eight goals in 15 games with AIK to rank second overall in goals. "He is doing really well there," GM Mike Gillis said. "He’s leading their team in goals and he’s a 19-year-old. He is getting better and better every week. As our team is positioned right now we have a couple of extra forwards. He is doing extremely well there and to bring him over here for a short training camp, he’d be flying for 18 hours, you get here and it’s going to be pretty hard for him to crack our lineup." It looks like Jensen has a bright future in the NHL, so consider taking him in deep keeper leagues.

Vancouver has granted Nicklas Jensen permission to play pre-season games with AIK of the Swedish Elite League.

He has been training with the Stockholm-based team since late July, but he wasn't allowed to participate in game action until now. "It has been frustrating to sit on the sidelines," Jensen said. "It was nice to watch the first game, but since then I have been sick of just watching." He is still expected to attend the Canucks' training camp next month if it isn't postponed because of a lockout.

Nicklas Jensen has decided he will play in Sweden if he doesn't earn a roster spot with the Vancouver Canucks out of training camp.

His agent has reported that he won't return to the OHL's Oshawa Generals this season. Jensen believed he will face better competition going against men overseas than playing another year of junior hockey. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect recorded 25 goals and 58 points in 57 games with Oshawa in 2011-12.

The Vancouver Canucks have sent Nicklas Jensen to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.

Jensen was the Canucks first round pick, 29th overall, in the 2011 Entry Draft. He played for the Oshawa Generals of the OHL who were eliminated earlier in the week from the playoffs. Jensen had 27 goals and 58 points in 57 games for Oshawa and will get extra playoff experience playing for the Wolves. He possesses excellent offensive instincts and has the speed, size, touch and shot to play in the NHL. He will need some minor league time but the Canucks think he has a bright future with the team.

Vancouver Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault loves rookie Nicklas Jensen.

Jensen signed an entry level deal with Vancouver earlier in the week. "Love him," said Vigneault with a big grin. "I mean, I was waiting for somebody to ask me a question about him. There's a young man that, from what I've seen so far, has a tremendous amount of upside. No fear. He just goes out and plays and I'm really happy the organization was able to come to terms with him." Look for Jensen to be sent back to Oshawa of the OHL but he does appear to have a bright future with the Canucks.

Nicklas Jensen has agreed to terms with the Vancouver Canucks.

He notched a goal and an assist in Vancouver's 4-3 preseason win over Calgary on Wednesday night. Jensen was the 29th overall pick in the 2011 draft, but he's a long shot to stick with the Canucks this season.

Nicklas Jensen has been picked by the Vancouver Canucks with the 29th overall choice in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

When Jensen has the puck, he can be the most dangerous player on the ice. He possesses excellent offensive instincts. He has the speed, the size, the touch and the shot, but needs to improve his game away from the puck. He has also been criticized for his lack of toughness and average skating ability. Regardless, this Oshawa General was consistent during the latter part of the season and is one of the hottest prospects heading into the draft. The Denmark native will likely need more time to develop before he can make the transition to the pro game.
