Arvidsson (upper-body) is out for Game 5 in Buffalo.

Arvidsson exited Boston's blowout 6-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Game Four late in the first period due to an undisclosed injury. The team has yet to provide a concrete update on Arvidsson, but he did not practice on Monday and will be sidelined for Game Five on Tuesday. The 33-year-old Swedish forward is coming off an excellent season, scoring 54 points (25G / 29A) in 69 games, and will be sorely missed by a Bruins team that has only scored two combined goals in their last two games.
