Clarke MacArthur isn't concerned with the 74 games he'll have lost to injury by the time the calendar flips to April.

MacArthur, who suffered a concussion four games into the season - and who has since been at war with the lingering effects - would be put to ease by the chance to suit up in the final four games the Ottawa Senators have scheduled this season.

"I would love to just get a few games in, to know going into the summer that things are going to be fine for next year," MacArthur said, according to Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen.

"You never know, I guess. There's no certainty to when you're going to get hit or what's going to happen, but for me, mentally, it would be nice to play some games."

MacArthur is symptom-free, but failed his concussion baseline test at the end of February, as Warren points out.

He missed six weeks with a concussion last season as well.
