With training camp scheduled to open on Wednesday, Jason Spezza is getting excited to play again. "It has been a long time since I've been in games, so I'm excited to get going again," he said. The Senators top center missed 43 games with a back injury last season, which required surgery to repair. He returned for three contests in the playoffs, but wasn't at full health. He sustained a knee injury in March during his recovery. Spezza appears to be ready to put his injury woes behind him heading into training camp. He skated alongside Bobby Ryan in Monday's informal session, so that the two of them could start to learn each other's tendencies.
