Senators' MacArthur fine, will play in Game 3

NEW YORK — Clarke MacArthur appreciated everybody’s concern Saturday afternoon.

He wants everyone to know he’s fine.

After leaving the club’s 6-5 Game 2 victory over the New York Rangers early, MacArthur was back on the ice Monday morning for the club’s skate and he expects to play in Game 3 Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.

Players don’t normally talk about injuries during the post-season, but MacArthur, who missed the better part of two years with post-concussion syndrome, told reporters after the 45-minute skate on Broadway he had a pinched nerve in his neck.

He got hit by New York’s Ryan McDonagh at the end of the first, tried it out in the second and spent the rest of the game watching from the club’s dressing room.
