Silver Nuggets: Michalek could return Tuesday

Here are your Ottawa Senators headlines a day before Daniel Alfredsson's 1000th NHL game:

Looks like Milan Michalek could be back tomorrow; lines from practice this morning were Foligno-Fisher-Kovalev; Regin-Spezza-Alfredsson, Ruutu-Kelly-Neil, Michalek-Cullen-Shannon. That would leave Bobby Butler, Jesse Winchester, and Shean Donovan as healthy scratches. (Twitter)
Some stuff commemorating Alfie's 1000th game, from the Citizen: He might stay in Ottawa when he retires, he's respected by people around the league, and his case for the Hall of Fame.
GM Bryan Murray thinks Alfie's going to play until he's 40. (Sun)
Nick Foligno is having a hard time getting back into the rhythm. (Citizen)
Patrick Wiercioch's getting a taste of the NHL behind the scenes, even if not on the ice. (Sun)
Sens prospect Corey Cowick and his Ottawa 67's took a 2-1 series lead over St. Mike's last night. (Citizen)
