Senators Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Captain Daniel Alfredsson is getting an early start to the season.
Alfredsson began skating in early August—2 1/2 weeks ahead of his normal routine—to get ready for his 15th NHL season. Alfredsson, 37, feels the need for extra pre-camp preparation because of his age and also because he had surgery to repair a sports hernia in May. He says he is fully recovered from the injury.
"Just (wanted) to try it out and get on the ice a little bit more," he said. "I'm feeling pretty good, actually."
Alfredsson, who will once again be counted on to be the team's top right winger, power play catalyst, penalty killer and leader, will need some help in carrying the offense. |

Downie, 23, showed maturity to go with his skill and toughness last season, his first with the Lightning, and finished with 22 goals, 24 assists, a team-best plus-14 and a 19.0 shooting percentage that was tied for fourth in the NHL. |
