Clarkson (lower body) won't play Wednesday against the Senators, but could return to action by the weekend, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll likely take a spot on the fourth line when he rejoins the lineup, but there's a chance Clarkson could replace Rene Bourque on the second line alongside Brandon Dubinsky and Boone Jenner, which would make him a significantly more appealing fantasy option. His assignment should become clearer once he's able to practice again.
