The Sens are not trying to rush MacArthur (concussion) back, who has been improving the past few days but has only progressed to riding a stationary bike, Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan Dzingel has cemented himself on the second line, replacing MacArthur for the time being. The 31-year-old has not seen game action in a year, as his 2015-16 campaign was cut short by a concussion and he never fully recovered until the offseason. The minimal progress almost certainly rules the winger out for the season opener, and with a history of head injuries, the Sens are taking a cautious approach with the veteran and it's hard to tell when we'll see him take the ice again.
