Mark Stone - W - Senators

Mark Stone's undisclosed injury might be a high-ankle sprain.

If that's true, then it would have a negative impact Stone's offseason training. He had 15 goals and 38 points in 54 AHL games this season.

Jason Spezza - C - Senators

Ottawa coach Paul MacLean reunited Jason Spezza with Daniel Alfredsson and Milan Michalek for Game 5.

MacLean was hoping that putting together the Sens' top line of last season would light a spark under his team. Alas, it did not work as the unit was essentially ineffective in a 6-2 elimination loss to the Penguins. The good news, is that Spezza seemed to get through the game and the series without any problems with his back. He should be fine for 2013-14 and will likely be an 80-point threat.

Daniel Alfredsson - W - Senators

It is too early to determine if Daniel Alfredsson has played his last NHL game.

He told the media before the Senators were eliminated by the Penguins Friday night that he still loved to be at the rink but that he did not appreciate the time he spends away from his young children."It’s tough. It is. They [his children] enjoy me playing and watching games but for me personally, being away, missing a lot of stuff, it doesn’t get easier", said Alfredsson. "I’ve had a lot of moments when it’s been a lot of fun, there’s no question. I thoroughly enjoy my job; I love what I do. But I can’t say I enjoy every moment of it because I find the travel to be extremely tough. With a young family at home and time away, it doesn’t get easier. But when I’m at the rink, I still enjoy what I do." We will monitor the Sens captain's decision about whether he continues his NHL career over the coming months.

Craig Anderson - G - Senators

Craig Anderson gave up six goals on 33 shots in Ottawa's 6-2 Game 5 loss to Pittsburgh on Friday night.

Anderson, just like his teammates, found the Penguins' high-flying attack too difficult to contain, giving up 20 goals -- 12 over the last two games -- in the series. A far from ideal playoffs should not take away from the brilliant season he had, though 21-year-old Robin Lehner is lurking and more than capable of handling the full-time load. Starting with coach Paul MacLean, there's a lot to like about the Senators moving forward and the goaltending situation is certainly one of them.

Kyle Turris - C - Senators

Kyle Turris scored and assisted for the Senators as their season came to an end with a 6-2 loss in Game 5 of their second-round series with the Penguins on Friday night.

Turris had a team-leading six postseason goals. The Senators were overwhelmed and overmatched against the Penguins in this series, but they were never quitters. Even though they were outscored 22-11, coach Paul MacLean's group never gave up and that was a trait of this team the entire season. Milan Michalek potted the other marker, with Jared Cowen, Colin Greening and Jason Spezza picking up helpers. Chris Neil and Turris each had four penalty minutes.

Cory Conacher - W - Senators

Cory Conacher is playing for the Senators on Friday night.

With Mark Stone hurt, Conacher gets another chance in the lineup with Ottawa's season on the line. Conacher didn't play in Game 4, and he has three goals in seven playoff games this season, though he has notched just one shot on goal over his last three contests.

Mark Stone - W - Senators

Mark Stone did not make the trip to Pittsburgh for Game 5 because of an undisclosed injury.

Stone was injured in Game 4 on Wednesday, his playoff debut. The 21-year-old played 11:23 and had two shots on goal. Matt Kassian and Cory Conacher took pregame line rushes, so one of them will draw back into the lineup.

Daniel Alfredsson - W - Senators

Daniel Alfredsson feels his comment about the Senators not being able to rally from a 3-1 series deficit against Pittsburgh was taken out of context.

"Maybe I should have continued right away where I left off in my answer," he said. "I don't doubt for one second that we'll come out with a great effort (Friday night). It sounds like I had given up. If you ask anyone and they look at our series, I don't think there are too many people that would pick us right now. That's what I meant. We're still in the playoffs. It doesn't matter to me which way it's looked at. The guys in this room know enough about me. I believe in these guys ... I'm not going to change anything in how it's said. It's obvious to me that we're in tough." Anyone who said Alfredsson had given up went a little overboard, but he clearly understands that the Senators have their backs against the wall against a talented team.

Craig Anderson - G - Senators

Obviously, Craig Anderson will be between the pipes for Ottawa Friday night in Game 5 at Pittsburgh.

He allowed six goals on 38 shots in a 7-3 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday night and was pulled for the second time in the series, but he was excellent in the first period and helped the Senators steal Game 3 in double overtime. Coach Paul MacLean said there was no question in his mind that Anderson would play in Game 5. Ottawa will attempt to avoid playoff elimination in the contest.

Erik Karlsson - D - Senators

Erik Karlsson collected two assists and five shots in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

The supremely talented defenseman had been struggling in his previous three matches against the Penguins in the series. Going into Wednesday's contest, Karlsson had no points, eight shots, six penalty minutes and a minus-4 rating after he looked very good versus Montreal in the first round of the playoffs.
May 23 - 11:56 AM
Andre Benoit - D - Senators

Andre Benoit picked up an assist Wednesday night.

In four playoff appearances with Ottawa, he has contributed three helpers. Benoit also owns a plus-4 rating while seeing nearly 16 minutes of ice time per game.
May 23 - 11:47 AM
Kyle Turris - C - Senators

Kyle Turris potted his team-leading fifth goal of the postseason in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

His tally gave the Senators a 2-1 lead after the first period, the Penguins poured it on in the next two frames to put Ottawa on the brink of elimination. Turris has five goals and seven points in nine playoff contests after he recorded 12 markers and 29 points during 48 regular season games.
May 23 - 11:44 AM
Milan Michalek - W - Senators

Milan Michalek scored in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh for the first time since Game 2 of the opening round against Montreal.

He busted through the Penguins' defense to score a shorthanded marker early in the first period. Michalek has two points in last two games and four in nine total playoff outings.

Mark Stone - W - Senators

Mark Stone registered two shots in 11:23 of ice time for the Senators in Game 4 versus Pittsburgh.

Stone hadn't played in the NHL since early March when he skated in four contests with Ottawa. He replaced Cory Conacher, who sat as a healthy scratch, in the lineup.

Daniel Alfredsson - W - Senators

Daniel Alfredsson isn't confident that Ottawa can come back from a 3-1 series deficit against Pittsburgh.

When he was asked if the Senators can win three straight games over the Penguins he said, "Probably not. I mean, with their depth and power play right now, it doesn't look too good for us." He believes the team will try their hardest in Game 5 Friday night back in Pittsburgh, but he was clearly dejected by Wednesday's 7-3 defeat. Alfredsson has generated two goals and two assists in his past three games and he'll need to shoulder the load again if Ottawa is going to extend their playoff run.
