Viktor Arvidsson - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

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 • 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 • 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 • 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.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Tuesday Arvidsson (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Senators, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Arvidsson is set to miss his fourth straight. The 31-year-old winger's next chance to play is at home Thursday versus the Wild. The Oilers will continue to deploy seven defensemen and 11 forwards in Arvidsson's absence.

Won't play Monday Arvidsson (undisclosed) won't play Monday against Montreal, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Impact Arvidsson will miss his third straight game. He has generated two goals, five points and 38 shots on net through 16 appearances this season. Edmonton will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen again against the Canadiens, but Josh Brown will replace Darnell Nurse (upper body) in the lineup.

Unavailable Saturday Arvidsson (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus Toronto, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Ruled out against Preds Arvidsson (undisclosed) will miss out versus Nashville on Thursday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact While Arvidsson won't be an option for Thursday's tilt, he could still be ready to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday. In the meantime, rather than call up an additional forward, the Oilers are going to roll with seven defensemen, which means Travis Dermott will rejoin the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the last four contests.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Arvidsson (undisclosed) is questionable for Thursday's game after missing Wednesday's practice, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Arvidsson has two goals and five points in 16 outings with the Oilers in 2024-25. Edmonton might dress seven blueliners and 11 forwards if Arvidsson ends up not being available Thursday. His absence might also result in Jeff Skinner, who has been skating on the fourth line, moving up to the second unit.

Tallies in big win Arvidsson scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.

He's maintained a top-six role but is losing out on power-play time after posting a mere five points with 36 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 15 appearances this season.

Impact Arvidsson opened the season with no goals over 10 games, but it didn't take him long to strike in his 11th appearance. He scored just 37 seconds into the first period, earning his fourth point of the campaign. The 31-year-old winger spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Predators. He's collected 25 shots on net, five hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating in 2024-25. Look for Arvidsson to feature alongside Leon Draisaitl on the top line while Connor McDavid (ankle) is out.
