Dion Phaneuf and Clarke MacArthur have both been shut down for the final six games of the season by the Ottawa Senators.

Phanuef, acquired by the Senators earlier this season, suffered a hairline fracture in his right foot while blocking a shot on March 12. The team said the injury will not affect his sumer training routine.

The 30-year-old defenceman played in 20 games with the Senators, scoring one goal and adding seven assists. He finishes the season with four goals and 32 points in 71 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Senators.

MacArthur's 2015-16 campaign ends with just four games played due to a concussion.

The 30-year-old has not played since Oct. 14 and failed to register a point on the year.

Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen reports MacArthur met with Senators general manager Bryan Murray and the team's medical staff on Saturday and the two sides agreed he would not play again this season for the Senators, who sit eight points out the playoffs.

MacArthur told the Citizen he ignored concussion symptoms that experienced in training camp, a decision which he believes cost him the season.

"I feel like if I had just went with my gut instinct from Day 1, I would have missed 10 games and I would have played the rest of the year," MacArthur said per the Citizen. "It would have been a different situation. It could have been a completely different year."

He said the symptoms began after a preseason collision with teammate Mark Fraser. He played the Senators first four games of the season but hit his head in the second period of the fourth game, against the Columbus Blue Jackets and has not played since.

MacArthur scored 16 goals and notched 20 assists in 62 games with the Senators last season. The previous year, he scored 24 goals and 55 points in 79 games in his first season with the team.

This is the first season of the five-year, $23.5 million contract extension he signed with the Senators in August 2014. He will turn 31 on April 6.
