Chris Kelly, Alex Picard and Jason Spezza also tallied for the Senators, who will open their regular season on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Stockholm, Sweden.
A Goteborg native and former Frolunda star, Alfredsson received an ovation from the crowd when he provided Ottawa with a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Alfredsson took a pass from fellow All-Star Spezza for a partial breakaway and fought off defenseman Philip Larsen to score with 6:29 remaining.
Ottawa center Mike Fisher left the contest with a groin injury. It was the second time since training camp began that Fisher injured his groin.
Blue-liner Oscar Hedman scored for Frolunda.
