Progress for Alfredsson, none for Winchester

NEW YORK – The signs are starting to look better for captain Daniel Alfredsson, out with a concussion since the second game of the series when Ranger left wing Carl Hagelin elbowed his head into the glass.
He skated on Saturday in Ottawa and made progress, said MacLean.
Howver, the news is not so good for Jesse Winchester, also out with what is believed to be a concussion.
MacLean said there has been no change in his status.
Hagelin will be eligible to return for the sixth game on Monday in Ottawa.

About Allen Panzeri

After three years of teaching English at the University of British Columbia, Allen Panzeri began his career in journalism in 1979 at the Medicine Hat News, where he covered Kelly Hrudey and the Tigers while learning about block heaters, rodeo, and curling. In 1981, he moved north to the Edmonton Journal, where he covered boxing, the Edmonton Drillers of the North American Soccer League, and the University of Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas for four years, before taking a 10-year hiatus from sports to write editorials, cover primary, secondary, and university education, and watch the beginnings of the Ralph Klein era at the provincial legislature. Traded to the Citizen in 1995, he accepted an offer to return to sports and cover the Ottawa Lynx, lucking into a front-row seat for their 1995 International League championship, and since then has covered the Senators and typed out the occasional article on golf.
