Daniel Alfredsson spoke out on Wednesday about the Ottawa Senators' need to recapture their focus. "It's easy to get caught up in everything and sometimes, especially after a long year, you kind of forget all the basics," said the team's captain. "But we've done a lot of good things to get where we are and we've put ourselves in a great position. Now it's just full gas from here on in and don't leave anything behind, because this is the best time of year." The Senators have been a notable surprise success story this season, but their position in the playoffs has been slipping down the stretch. The club has lost two straight games and have one win in their past five, while Alfredsson has struggled as well with no goals and three assists in his last 11 contests.
