Smith (leg) will not be available for Wednesday's game vs. Nashville.
Head coach Dave Tippett said that Smith is "skating right now, he won't play tonight but he's real close. We're hoping he'll be an option for Friday." With Smith out for a sixth straight game, look for Mikko Koskinen to start.
Arvidsson (COVID-19) is not expected to play Wednesday.
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.

Dermott (undisclosed) is expected to be scratched on Saturday.
Jones will have surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle and is expected to be out for 4-to-6 months.
This surgery will sideline Jones until at least the end of February, which means he could be back when the NHL returns from the Olympic break. The Ducks have 29 games after that break.
Janmark (COVID-19) is expected to return to the Golden Knights lineup on Friday.
Janmark missed the first three games of the season in COVID-19 protocol but will play tonight vs. the Oilers. Janmark, who had five points (1G / 4A) in 15 games with the Golden Knights last year, will skate on the fourth line in his season debut.
The Ducks have placed Max Jones (upper-body) on IR.
Jones has been sent back to Anaheim, suggesting that his injury is relatively serious. With Jones out, Derek Grant will remain in the Ducks lineup on Thursday.
The Oilers have recalled Stuart Skinner from Bakersfield (AHL).
The Edmonton gets called up after Mike Smith (lower-body) landed on IR on Wednesday. The 22-year-old netminder has gong 2-0-0 while stopping 53 of 56 shots (.946 SV%) in his first two AHL starts of 2021-22. The Oilers have a back-to-back on Thursday/Friday, so Skinner could get the nod in one of those two games.
The Oilers have placed Mike Smith (lower-body) on IR.
Smith was removed from Tuesday's game after he "tweaked" something in his lower body. With Smith going on IR, Stuart Skinner was recalled from the AHL to serve as Mikko Koskinen's backup moving forward. The movement to IR means he'll miss at least two games.
Smith left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury and will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.
Head coach Dave Tippett called Smith "day-to-day" in his post-game media availability but added that he'll be re-evaluated on Wednesday morning. The Oilers have a back-to-back in Arizona and Vegas on Thursday and Friday, so there's a chance Stuart Skinner is called up and plays one of those two games.
