Arvidsson played just 11:51 TOI before leaving Sunday's game in Buffalo with a lower-body injury. It's unclear whether or not Arvidsson will be available for Monday's game in Boston.

Arvidsson was a late scratch from the lineup on Sunday and head coach Todd McLellan said Tuesday that Lias Andersson will skate on the top line with Anze Kopitar on Wednesday, suggesting that Arvidsson will miss a second straight game in COVID-19 protocol.

Arvidsson has been out since April 27th but will play in Game 1 vs. Carolina. With Arvidsson back in the lineup, it looks like Eeli Tolvanen will sit out as a healthy scratch. Arvidsson has 10 goals and 15 assists (25 points) in 50 games.

Arvidsson missed Tuesday's game in Detroit but he's expected to play in the rematch on Thursday. Arvidsson has scored five goals with 13 assists (18 points) in 39 games this season and will likely skate on the top line with Ryan Johansen if he ends up playing.

Arvidsson exited Saturday's win over the Blackhawks with an upper-body injury and is questionable to play in Detroit. He travelled with the team but his status for tonight's game is unclear.

Arvidsson missed Wednesday's practice but head coach John Hynes expects him to be available for Thursday's game vs. the Blue Jackets. Arvidsson will look to bounce back after a down 2020 season, where he had just 15 goals and 13 assists (28 points) in 57 games.

Arvidsson has missed four weeks with a lower-body injury but is expected to play against the Bruins on Saturday. Arvidsson has six goals and nine assists (15 points) in 22 games this season.

Arvidsson was cross-checked by Robert Bortuzzo on Saturday night and will miss at least one month. With Arvidsson out long-term, Kyle Turris could move back into the top-6 and the Predators will likely recall a forward from Milwaukee (AHL).

Arvidsson missed Monday’s practice and skated on the “fifth line” in Tuesday’s morning skate, so don’t expect him to play Tuesday in Anaheim. Luckily for he Predators, Filip Forsberg is expected to draw back into the lineup for Arvidsson.
