After leaving the club’s 6-5 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 2 at the Canadian Tire Centre early, MacArthur was back on the ice Monday morning for the club’s skate and he expects to play in Game 3 Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.

Players don’t normally talk about injuries during the post-season, but MacArthur, who missed the better part of two years with post-concussion syndrome, told reporters after the 45-minute skate on Broadway he had a pinched nerve in his neck, he needed an adjustment from the club’s training staff and will play.

He got hit by New York’s Ryan McDonagh at the end of the first, tried it out in the second and spent the rest of the game watching from the club’s dressing room.

“I feel good. I got an adjustment and it changed everything,” MacArthur said after leaving the ice at MSG. “In the first game, I got hit and kind of fell on my left side. It’s kind of like having a pinched nerve. I got hit in the second game and it just kind of re-aggravated it.
