Jokipakka was scoreless with a minus-1 rating in 11:52 of ice time Thursday against the Wild in his team debut.
Jokipakka came over from the Flames in the Curtis Lazar deal at the trade deadline, but he has been in street clothes until Thursday. Injuries to Erik Karlsson (undisclosed) and Marc Methot (upper body) is testing the depth of the Senators, causing a need for Jokipakka to finally draw in. He might have a regular role with Methot not expected back until the postseason, but his fantasy value is negligible.
