MacArthur (concussion) will take a baseline test Tuesday with the goal being to return for Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay if he passes, Brent Wallace of TSN Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

MacArthur hasn't appeared in a game since Oct. 14, recording no points in five outings this season. The 30-year-old winger would provide a much-needed boost for the Sens as they push for a playoff spot, but he'll most likely need to shake off some rust with such a long absence. Even still, the former third-round pick has 91 points to show for his three-year career with Ottawa, an excellent sign that production is possible -- and expected -- once he's more comfortable in the lineup. Snatching MacArthur off waivers may be wise, especially if you need depth.
