Daniel Alfredsson skated for the first time on Tuesday since undergoing back surgery in June. "It felt good to be back on the ice today," he said after the session. "I was on for maybe an hour, an hour and 20 (minutes), did some drills and played a little bit of a scrimmage. It was fun. I was tired, but everything held up well and the back felt fine." Alfredsson is hopeful that he will be able to attend training camp next month. The Ottawa captain suited up in 54 games last season and at the age of 38 his fantasy stock appears to be heading downhill.
