Senators' MacArthur not ready to retire

Clarke MacArthur's latest concussion won't stop him from trying to play this season.

The Ottawa Senators forward, who was hit in a training camp scrimmage by prospect Patrick Sieloff over the weekend, clarified his intentions to return in an Instagram post Thursday.

Sieloff, a 22-year-old defenseman hoping to crack the Senators' NHL roster, caught MacArthur with a blindside hit Sunday that incited retaliatory actions from veterans Bobby Ryan and Chris Neil.

MacArthur played only four games last season due to concussion symptoms, after suffering his fourth brain injury in the last 18 months. The 31-year-old winger has spent the last three campaigns with Ottawa.
