MacEwan was placed on waivers by the Senators on Sunday.
MacEwan has two goals and an assist in 30 games with Ottawa this year, though just one of those points has come in his last 17 contests. Should he clear waivers, the 28-year-old MacEwan will likely remain with AHL Belleville as a depth option.

Senators' Zack MacEwen: Nabs assist in win
Rotowire
MacEwen provided an assist and five hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
MacEwen got on the scoresheet for the first time since his two-goal game versus the Kings on Oct. 14. The 28-year-old has seen steady fourth-line usage this season, though that's a role that rarely leads to offense. He's produced three points, 11 shots on net, 20 hits, nine PIM and a plus-3 rating through 10 appearances. MacEwen has seen less than 10 minutes of ice time in nine contests, so he has little opportunity to chip in.

Senators' Zack MacEwen: Pots two tallies Monday
Rotowire
MacEwen scored two goals in Monday's 8-7 overtime win over the Kings.
Despite seeing just 5:14 in ice time, the least among all Ottawa forwards on the afternoon, MacEwen had a huge impact on the game as he beat Darcy Kuemper twice in the second period. The journeyman fourth-liner came into the contest with only 15 goals in 217 career NHL games, so he's highly unlikely to repeat this performance any time soon.

MacEwen returned to Ottawa following his lower-body injury Saturday versus the Flyers.

Rotowire

Rotowire
MacEwen (illness) will be a game-time decision Saturday in Edmonton, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Senators' Zack MacEwen: Under the weather
Rotowire
MacEwen will not be in action versus Seattle on Thursday due to an illness, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
MacEwen has garnered a meager two points in 14 games this season while averaging a paltry 5:45 of ice time. Without the 27-year-old center in the lineup, Angus Crookshank figures to take on a fourth-line role versus the Kraken. For his part, MacEwen is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value even once he returns to the lineup.

Senators' Zack MacEwen: First Ottawa goal a game-winner
Rotowire
MacEwen scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.
MacEwen made his first goal as a Senator count, as he gave his team a 2-0 lead with a blast from the top of the faceoff circle midway through the first period. The journeyman grinder is on his fourth NHL team in six seasons. He has bounced in and out of the press box, but he's done his job when he's been in the lineup for the Senators, amassing 27 PIM and 21 hits in 13 games despite averaging less than six minutes of ice time per game (5:39).

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.

The 26-year-old forward has 10 points, 67 shots on net, 139 hits, 56 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 50 contests between the Kings and the Flyers this season.
