The ceremony will take place on December 29, 2016, and the opponent for that game holds some significance.
The Detroit Red Wings will be in town to witness the commemoration. They were the only team that Alfredsson laced up with besides the Senators during his storied career.
Perhaps no player is as synonymous with this current incarnation of the Senators as Alfredsson. He was captain of the team from 1999-2013.
He leads the franchise in career goals, assists, and points. He had 1,108 points while playing for the Senators. For some perspective, now other player even has 700, and only 3 others have at least 400.
