Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said MacArthur will be evaluated daily.
"We're at the point where we're heartbroken," the GM said, according to the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch. "I don't care about the hit. I care about Clarke."
Bobby Ryan and Chris Neil both went after Sieloff after he caught MacArthur with a dangerous hit along the boards.
MacArthur appeared in only four games last season due largely to concussion issues.
