Alfredsson had his third good skating session in a row today with no setbacks. "I'm going to talk with the coaches and medical staff after practice (Friday) and go from there," Alfredsson said. "A little more intense these last two days, but I feel good and I don't expect anything will change until tomorrow." Alfredsson has missed six games with lower back inflammation. Coach Mike Babcock said a decision on Alfredsson's status will be made after the morning skate.
