Zack MacEwen gets absolutely bodied by Emil Heineman, and heads right to the locker room
MacEwen went directly to the locker room with an upper-body injury that was likely a product of his collision with the boards following the hit.
The Senators later announced that MacEwen would not be returning to the game.
Injury update: After sustaining respective injuries in the second period, #Sens forwards Tarun Fizer (lower body) and Zack MacEwen (upper body) will not return to tonight's game.

Hopefully, MacEwen heals up soon and is able to slot into the Senators opening night lineup.
