Arvidsson was activated from IR with a lower-body injury for Saturday’s game, but was forced to leave the game with an upper-body injury. Arvidsson was hurt while crashing into the boards and will miss at least the next three games. With Arvidsson back out, Kevin Fiala will likely move back to the top line.
Arvidsson has missed the last three games but is set to return on Saturday afternoon after being activated from IR. Arvidsson has picked up 12 points (8G / 4A) in 12 games this season and will likely reclaim his spot on the top line today.
Arvidsson was placed on IR on Monday, but was on the ice for Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday’s morning skate but is not expected to play in Colorado. It’s a good sign that Arvidsson was on the ice for two straight days, so there’s a chance that he plays Saturday in Dallas.
Arvidsson has missed the last two games and the Predators placed him on IR on Monday morning. Arvidsson’s move to IR means that he will miss at least Wednesday’s game in Colorado, but he is eligible to return in Dallas on Saturday.
Arvidsson reportedly had to be helped off of the ice this afternoon, which doesn’t bode well for his availability for Tuesday’s game vs. the Golden Knights. Arvidsson will likely be evaluated this afternoon and the Predators will likely release a timetable prior to tomorrow’s game if he is going to miss any time.
There is no word on when Arvidsson suffered the injury, but it puts his stats for the Predators’ season opener in question. Arvidsson is a talented offensive winger, but will likely find it difficult to carve out a large enough role on a deep team to be fantasy relevant.
Arvidsson spent the All-Star break with Milwaukee, where he has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 17 games this season. In his time with the Predators, the 22 year-old has five points (3G / 2A).
Arvidsson, 22, scored one goal in three games with the Predators after making the team out of training camp, but he will head back to the AHL for a little more seasoning. He had 22 goals and 33 assists (55 points) in 70 games with Milwaukee last season.
Arvidsson did not have a point in six games during his recall. He heads back to the minors with the Predators off until Saturday.
Arvidsson, 21, currently leads the Admirals, is tied for the AHL rookie lead, and tied for 10th among all AHL skaters with 51 points (20G / 31A) while playing in all 63 of the team’s games this season.
