Sens' Alfredsson out 4-6 weeks

Now the Ottawa Senators will be forced to soldier on without their captain.

Just when it seemed the Senators were beginning to emerge from a crippling rash of injuries, they've learned that Daniel Alfredsson will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a separated left shoulder.

That could mean Alfredsson will be lost to the Senators until the two-week break for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics begins in early February.

The team is already without its No. 1 centre, Jason Spezza, until likely after the Vancouver Games with a knee injury. Forward Nick Foligno is also on the shelf after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, but might resume skating on Sunday.

"Very disappointing," Senators head coach Cory Clouston said earlier today in Buffalo, where his team will face off against the Sabres at HSBC Arena tonight (7 p.m., no TV, Team 1200. "It's compounded when you lose Foligno and Spezza as well, so it's not just one guy. We just need guys to step up, we need guys to pick up those minutes and play hard."
