Good to go Arvidsson (undisclosed) will play against Vancouver on Saturday, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Impact Arvidsson won't miss additional time after being hurt in Thursday's 4-3 win over Colorado. He participated fully in Saturday's morning skate. The 31-year-old Arvidsson has posted six goals, 15 points and 73 shots on net in 30 appearances this season.

Questionable for Saturday Arvidsson is dealing with an undisclosed injury sustained in Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Arvidsson scored in that contest as well, but he suffered the injury on a blocked shot. He is considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play versus the Canucks on Sunday, Kasperi Kapanen would likely draw back into the lineup.

The 31-year-old winger is up to six goals and 15 points through 30 contests this season, matching his total from 18 appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. Arvidsson has added 73 shots on net and a plus-10 rating in 2024-25 while often playing in a second-line role.

Puts up helper Wednesday Arvidsson recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Arvidsson set up Vasily Podkolzin on the go-ahead goal in the third period. The 31-year-old Arvidsson has earned a goal and four assists over his last six contests and looks to be getting comfortable in a second-line role. For the season, he has 14 points, 72 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 29 appearances.

Seven points in last seven games Arvidsson scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-0 win over the Bruins.

Impact Arvidsson has three points, including two assists, in his last two games and seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last seven games. He has clicked with Leon Draisaitl on the Oilers' second line, but there's a chance that he could be on the move at the deadline or before if Evander Kane (lower body) returns. The Oil needs the roster space, unless they leverage Kane into a high-end defender. Arvidsson is a solid secondary fantasy scorer, although his lack of power-play time in Edmonton right now makes him a touch one-dimensional.

Dishes pair of assists Arvidsson logged two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Arvidsson is up to six points over eight contests since he returned from an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old forward has settled into a second-line role, and it seems to be helping his offense. For the season, he has four goals, seven assists, 58 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 24 appearances. Arvidsson offers little else beyond points and shots, so his fantasy value may be limited to deeper formats.

Tallies Saturday Arvidsson scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Arvidsson has two goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 31-year-old winger has moved around the lineup a bit -- he was on Leon Draisaitl's line Saturday. If Arvidsson can stay there, he could provide decent depth scoring. He's been limited to eight points, 50 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 20 appearances this season after missing 15 games with an undisclosed injury.

One of each in win Arvidsson scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

Impact Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) was out, and Arvidsson took his place on the top line and first power-play unit. The move was a success, with Arvidsson getting on the scoresheet for the first time in three games since he returned from an undisclosed injury, though he was on the third line for the previous two contests. The winger has not had a chance to build much momentum this year between the injury and the Oilers' slow start to the campaign, but he could be along for the ride with the team playing better now. Arvidsson has three goals, four assists, 45 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 19 appearances this season.

Ready to rock Thursday Arvidsson (undisclosed) will return to the lineup versus Boston on Thursday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Arvidsson will return to action after missing 15 games. He will see third-line duty, alongside Adam Henrique and Connor Brown. Arvidsson was signed in the offseason to fill a top-six role, with either Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl as his center, but it has not worked out thus far as Arvidsson has played in only 16 games this season. He has two goals and three assists with 38 shots on goal.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • NHL.COM

Nearing return Arvidsson (undisclosed) is getting close to returning to the lineup, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Tuesday.

Impact Arvidsson is a possibility to play as soon as Thursday versus Boston. If the 31-year-old forward doesn't play against the Bruins, he could be available for Saturday's game versus San Jose or Sunday's matchup versus Ottawa. Arvidsson has missed the last 15 games and remains on injured reserve for now. He has two goals, five points and 38 shots on net in 16 appearances this season.

Resumes skating Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Monday that Arvidsson (undisclosed) has resumed skating, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Arvidsson has been out for nearly a month due to his undisclosed injury, and Knoblauch said last week that the 31-year-old winger didn't have a timetable to return. However, Knoblauch indicated Monday that he hopes Arvidsson will be able to practice with the team this week. Arvidsson could be eased into action once he's cleared for team practices, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No timetable for return Coach Kris Knoblauch said Thursday that there is no timetable for Arvidsson's return, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Arvidsson will miss his 10th consecutive game Thursday. Knoblauch said that "(the injury) hasn't healed the way we assumed it would have." Arvidsson had been a disappointment before the injury with only five points in 16 games, despite seeing plenty of time on a line with Leon Draisaitl.

Not playing on road trip Per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, Arvidsson (undisclosed) will miss the next three games, coach Kris Knoblauch said Friday.

Impact Arvidsson will not play on the current road trip which concludes Dec. 3 in Vegas, so the earliest Arvidsson could return to the lineup would be Dec. 5 against Columbus. Arvidsson has already missed six games. He has been a bit of a disappointment when in the lineup, as he has only two goals and five points in 16 games this season.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return in 5-8 days Arvidsson (undisclosed) could be ready to return to the lineup in 5-8 days, according to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic on Monday.

Impact Arvidsson has been out for the last six games. He won't play Friday against Utah and Saturday versus Colorado. His next chance to return to the lineup will be Tuesday against Vegas, but he still needs to come off injured reserve to be available. Arvidsson has contributed two goals, five points and 38 shots on net through 16 appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Put on injured reserve Arvidsson was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Arvidsson was already ruled out for Thursday's game against Minnesota, but his placement on IR can be retroactive to Nov. 12, so he can be activated whenever he's ready to return. The 31-year-old has two goals and five points in 16 appearances in 2024-25. Arvidsson might get another opportunity on the top six once he's healthy, but he's far from guaranteed that role.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Thursday Arvidsson (undisclosed) is out of action Thursday and is not expected to play Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TVreports.

Impact Arvidsson has missed the last four games and will not dress Thursday at home against Minnesota. The 31-year-old winger was expected to have a big season as a second-line winger with Leon Draisaitl as his center, but that has not come to fruition as Arvidsson has only two goals and five points in 16 games.
