When Daniel Alfredsson suffered a concussion a couple weeks ago, people speculated that it could be a long term injury for the Sens Captain. Concussions are always tough to diagnose and in the first couple days, it certainly had all the hallmarks of a serious injury. Well the normal injury standards simply do not apply to Alfie. On 11/11/11, Daniel Alfredsson is expected to return to the Ottawa line up.

It was a game the Ottawa Senators should have won. If not for a couple of sloppy turnovers in the second period of last night's game, the Sens would have come away with two points.  Instead, the Rangers were able to capitalize on Ottawa mistakes and send Ottawa to their fourth straight defeat.

The Ottawa Senators play their last home game until late November, tonight when they play host to the New York Rangers. This is the first time the two teams have met since Wojtek Wolski sidelined Daniel Alfredsson with an elbow to the head.  Neither player will be in the line up tonight.

As the Ottawa Senators pass the fifteen game mark in this, their 20th season in the NHL, they have already managed to turn some heads. After a couple of one-sided losses at the hands of the Avalanche and the Flyers, it looked like this season was going to be every bit as ugly as some of the experts had predicted.  But when the Sens managed to reel off six straight wins, it was clear that this hockey team was going to be no pushover this season.
