TAMPA -- Daniel Alfredsson practised with his Senators teammates Monday at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa.

Whether that means he'll play Tuesday against the Lightning is still uncertain.

In all likelihood he won't. Alfredsson has missed 23 games with a back injury and Monday's session marked the first time he has worked with his mates since coming out of the lineup in early February.
