MacArthur (concussion) has not been cleared to play, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's obviously frustrating for MacArthur, who has not seen the ice since Oct. 14. The winger's original plan was to appear in Thursday's game against the Lightning, or at the very least, sometime in early March. Unfortunately, the 30-year-old will have to wait, as his timetable is up in the air at this point. MacArthur can be safely left on waivers with the uncertainty surrounding his availability for the rest of the season.
