The Ottawa Senators had a rough night on Thursday, getting pushed around by the New York Rangers in a 5-1 loss.
The Senators witnessed their seven-game winning streak come to an end along with the winning streak of goaltender Andrew Hammond, who lost his first NHL game.
With the team in the midst of a tight Eastern Conference playoff race and their goaltenders banged up, the Senators could welcome back forward Clarke MacArthur.
The 29-year-old veteran has been cleared to play, reports Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.
MacArthur has been out of action since February with a serious concussion and could return as early as Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Dave Cameron says Clarke MacArthur is good to go tomorrow night. Passed his concussion test. #Sens #cbcott
