Benoit, 27, had one goal and nine assists over 78 games with the Leafs last season, adding one goal and one assist over 13 playoff games.

The 28-year-old Roy, who was acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights this off-season as part of the Mitchell Marner sign-and-trade, netted 15 goals and 16 assists over 71 games in 2024-25, his sixth campaign in Vegas.

Woll, 27, posted a 27-14-1 record alongside a 2.73 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage over 42 games last season. Woll had a 3.56 GAA and a .996 save percentage over seven postseason games.

The Maple Leafs eliminated the Senators in six games in last year’s opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

General manager Steve Staios said the team does not have a timeline for Jensen’s return.

“He’s been doing very well,“ Staios said at the Sens’ charity golf tournament. ”I don’t really have a timeline on it, but certainly something we’re hoping that he could get through.”

Jensen, 34, had three goals and 21 points in 71 regular-season games last season.
