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.
