Viktor Arvidsson News

Arvidsson missed Thursday's game vs. the Kraken but he's expected to play tonight in Minnesota. Arvidsson had two shots in 17:33 TOI in his only game of the season.

Arvidsson had two shots in 17:33 TOI in the season opener but will come out of the lineup on Thursday. With Arvidsson out, Gabriel Vilardi is expected to move up to the second line, and Brendan Lemieux is expected to draw in on the fourth line.

Arvidsson appeared in his first preseason game on Saturday and was on the ice for Monday's practice after undergoing back surgery in May. Arvidsson is expected to be in his usual spot with Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore.

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.

Arvidsson has missed the first five games of the series and will miss at least the next two games (if the Oilers win on Thursday). It's unclear how long Arvidsson will be out if the Kings advance beyond round 1.

Arvidsson will miss his third straight game with an undisclosed injury, which means Alex Iafallo will remain on the Kings' second line, which was so impressive in Game 1.

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. This would be a huge blow to the Kings' top-6 in a difficult game--Arvidsson, Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore have formed one of the best second lines in the NHL this season.

Arvidsson, who will be playing for the first time since October 30th, will skate on the top line and top power-play unit in his return to the lineup. He registered five points (2G / 3A) in eight games earlier in the season.

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.
