Silfverberg Could Make His Ottawa Debut Tonight

from Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen,
Jakob Silfverberg was certainly made to feel at home at Scotiabank Place early Monday.
First off, his Ottawa Senators teammates allowed him to lead them in their on-ice stretches before the morning skate.
When the practice ended, a few Swedish journalists then took centre stage at coach Paul MacLean’s morning press conference, aggressively querying MacLean on what he expected from the talented 21-year-old Swedish prospect and whether he would jump immediately into the fire of an NHL playoff series after capturing a Swedish Elite League title.
“You guys could probably tell me better,” MacLean answered back, pointing out that Silfverberg won the most valuable player in the SEL in both the regular season and playoffs, winning the league title on Thursday with Brynas….
Before Monday, MacLean hadn’t even seen Silfverberg since the Senators development camp in the summer, but the coach was thinking long and hard about throwing him immediately into the fire against the Rangers.

Alfredsson Skates Again Today, Hopes To Play Tomorrow

from Rob Brodie of the Senators website,
In the wake of a 2-0 victory on Saturday night in New York, the eight-seeded Senators lead the best-of-seven affair 3-2 and can oust the conference’s top regular-season team — 17 points better than the Senators in the final standings, we hasten to add — with one more victory in front of what should be another raucous sellout crowd at Scotiabank Place.
Alfredsson, who’s missed the last three games after suffering a concussion in Game 2 — courtesy of an elbow to the head by the Rangers’ Carl Hagelin — would dearly love to be a part of it all, though he’s not quite ready to make that decision just yet.
“Today is another step and it’s been a good couple of days,” said the 39-year-old captain, who hit the ice Saturday for the first time in five days. “I’m going to wait until tomorrow but the way the last two days have felt, I’m encouraged.”

No penalty on the play but some of the “web talk” called it a dirty hit.
In my opinion, it may have been a little late, but holding off until a better view becomes available.
added 10:59pm, Embedded a better look at the hit video, put the original video below…
added 10:38pm, via an Elliotte Friedman tweet,
We looked at Neil hit for lateness, was .25 seconds after puck. NHL standard is .5. League will have to determine if head shot
added 11:17pm, Tortorella post-game on the hit, scroll to the :30 second mark in the 2nd video below…
added 1:59am 4/22/12, a 3rd video added below, the MSG feed.

Numerous reports state Daniel Alfredsoon is at practice this morning and looks fine, but…
from Pat Leondard of the NY Daily News,
Monday morning on a WFAN radio interview, NHL VP of player safety Brendan Shanahan revealed Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson suffered a concussion on the elbow from Carl Hagelin in Game 2 at the Garden on Saturday night.
added 11:00am, Alfredsson confirms he did suffer a concussion and will be a game time decision tonight.
For some reason, I thought you had to sit out a certain length of time before returning, but maybe I am wrong.
