Senators' Zack MacEwen: Unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire
MacEwen (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Hurricanes, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
MacEwen's absence will force the Senators to play a man short due to cap issues. The 27-year-old forward was hurt late in the preseason, and a timeline for his return to play has yet to be announced. Ottawa will be eligible for an emergency recall for Saturday's game against the Flyers.
MacEwen will not finish Saturday's game versus the Canadiens after suffering an upper-body injury.
MacEwen was hurt in the second period. This casts some doubt on his availability for Opening Night -- if MacEwen ends up out for a longer period of time, Ridly Greig could fill a spot in the lineup.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Set to play against Jackets
Rotowire
MacEwan (illness) is expected to suit up versus Columbus on Tuesday.
MacEwan has played in just one of the team's last three contests due to injury and illness. Considering the 26-year-old natural center has just one point in his last 12 contests, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his return to the lineup. Given his limited offensive upside, MacEwan shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value, even in formats that value defensive stats.
