Senators' Karlsson sees recovery on the horizon March 26, 2013 – Ottawa, Ontario - TSN, Associated Press

OTTAWA -- Erik Karlsson sees a light at the end of the tunnel.

Karlsson, who saw his season with the Ottawa Senators come to an end Feb. 13 after having his Achilles tendon cut by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke, spoke on Monday during the first intermission of the Senators game against the New Jersey Devils.

"It's going well," said Karlsson of his recovery. "Baby steps, but overall it's been feeling pretty good ever since it happened and I can feel it's going forward.

"I think I'm on schedule. Every day is different and we are where we are right now and there's been no real setbacks or anything like that so it's going forward all the time. It's just going to take a lot of time and a lot of patience to get 100 per cent again."
