OTTAWA (AP) -Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson injured his hip Thursday night and was forced out of the game against the Carolina Hurricanes early in the second period.
Alfredsson, Ottawa’s leading scorer with 29 goals and 60 points, took one shift in the middle period before leaving the game. A Senators spokesman said the forward wouldn’t return.
Alfredsson, who missed five games because of a hip injury last season, is the third member of Ottawa’s top line of All-Star forwards to leave a game this week due to an injury.
Two-time 50-goal scorer Dany Heatley will miss next weekend’s All-Star festivities in Atlanta because of a separated shoulder, an injury expected to sideline him for six weeks. Heatley was hurt in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Detroit and was replaced on the Eastern Conference All-Star team by Boston’s Marc Savard.
High-scoring center Jason Spezza left Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders for precautionary reasons after he was flattened by defenseman Freddy Meyer’s open-ice hit. Spezza returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s 4-2 loss in Washington.
