Daniel Alfredsson (concussion) not only plans to return on Friday, but he plans to go all-out. "I feel ready and I feel very confident about going back - otherwise I wouldn't be," said Alfredsson. "I'm not going to be cautious. You've got to be ready at all times on the ice. I've said that before, so it's the same. I think if you don't feel you're ready, you shouldn't start playing again." It's hard to believe that only about a week ago Alfredsson was having difficulty even playing with his kids. Alfredsson has managed to return from other injuries way ahead of schedule over the course of his career, but his most recent recovery might be the most remarkable.

Daniel Alfredsson expects to return from his concussion on Friday night in Buffalo.

"It seems like it was coming from the neck and it relieved a lot of the pressure." He won't play on Wednesday but expects to travel with the team on their road trip afterward as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

"He doesn't have any symptoms. Obviously, he has to take the baseline test (Tuesday) and we'll see from there." There's no timetable for his return at this point, but the fact that he can ride a stationary bike and skate lightly without issues is encouraging.

Daniel Alfredsson isn't expected to return to Ottawa's lineup anytime soon from a concussion.
