We'll soon know whether Daniel Alfredsson plans to continue his career or hang up the skates.

A decision on Alfredsson's future will likely come before December, sources tell Louis Jean of TVA Sports.

If the veteran forward doesn't skate with the Detroit Red Wings in the next week or so, it's likely he'll choose retirement, according to the report.

The Red Wings have been willing to wait for an answer from the 41-year-old since training camp. He skated with the club until tweaking a back injury.
