Arvidsson entered Wednesday questionable to play in the Kings' season opener, and now he's expected to miss an extended period of time after being placed on the long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury. The veteran winger has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing 13.5 percent of the games since 2020.

“Upon approval of the Commissioner, a Player who is unavailable to play due to reasons other than injury, illness or disability will be designated a Non-Roster Player, and during such period of his designation as such he will not count against the Club’s Active Roster limit and his Club may replace such Player.” Arvidsson will not count towards the team's 23-man roster limit, and they used his spot to call-up Rasmus Kupari from the AHL.

Arvidsson is working his way back from herniated disc surgery in mid-May. The original timetable was three-to-five months, and the Kings said he's on track for the back-end of that timetable. Gabriel Vilardi and Samuel Fagemo are two candidates to replace Arvidsson on the Kings' second line to start the season.
