Arvidsson will miss his second straight game on Friday, but head coach Nico Sturm said it was an encouraging sign to see him back on the ice, and could play in Game 7 if the Bruins are able to stay alive in Game 6. The Bruins will roll with the exact same lineup as Game 5.
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.
