Ottawa coach Paul MacLean claims he was unaware of any new development in Jason Spezza's recovery from back surgery. A report surfaced from Renaud Lavoie of RDS Wednesday night, which stated that Spezza is dealing with "some stiffness" in his back, which is slowing his progress and it may keep him out for another month. "I have no idea," MacLean said after Ottawa's shootout loss to Montreal. "I don't know. Not that I know of. I don't know anything about that. I was here all day, just like (the media)."
