‘On paper and for salary-cap reasons, MacArthur was sent to the Amerks when the NHL All-Star break began. Patrick Kaleta also returned. Unlike Kaleta, who played in Friday night’s 4-3 shootout loss to Lake Erie, MacArthur wasn’t even in town. The Sabres can’t risk MacArthur getting hurt in either American Hockey League game this weekend, so they let him have the time off. He’s rejoining the Sabres on Monday for practice and will play at Tampa on Tuesday.’
