The veteran winger has not played a game yet this season after being placed on injured reserve in mid-October. After several down seasons, Arvidsson has refound his game as a Los Angeles King, scoring 108 points (46G / 62A) in 143 games over the previous two seasons. He will return to practice on Thursday and could make his return to the Kings' lineup over the next few weeks.

Arvidsson entered Wednesday questionable to play in the Kings' season opener, and now he's expected to miss an extended period of time after being placed on the long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury. The veteran winger has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing 13.5 percent of the games since 2020. With Arvidsson unavailable, look for Alex Laferriere to remain with the club moving forward.

Arvidsson has been officially ruled out for the Kings' season opener against the Avalanche on Wednesday night. Due to salary cap constrictions, the Kings are expected to skate with only 11 forwards. Arvidsson remains day-to-day as Trevor Lewis is projeted to jump into his third-line spot alongside Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore.

Arvidsson is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury and is questionable to play on Wednesday. If he's unavailable, the Kings will likely have to play a man short due to cap constraints.

“Upon approval of the Commissioner, a Player who is unavailable to play due to reasons other than injury, illness or disability will be designated a Non-Roster Player, and during such period of his designation as such he will not count against the Club’s Active Roster limit and his Club may replace such Player.” Arvidsson will not count towards the team's 23-man roster limit, and they used his spot to call-up Rasmus Kupari from the AHL.

Arvidsson was scratched right before game time Tuesday due to illness. He will return Thursday to try and build off his three points (1G/2A) and 11 SOG through his first six games to start the season.

Arvidsson missed Thursday's game vs. the Kraken but he's expected to play tonight in Minnesota. Arvidsson had two shots in 17:33 TOI in his only game of the season.

Arvidsson had two shots in 17:33 TOI in the season opener but will come out of the lineup on Thursday. With Arvidsson out, Gabriel Vilardi is expected to move up to the second line, and Brendan Lemieux is expected to draw in on the fourth line.

Arvidsson appeared in his first preseason game on Saturday and was on the ice for Monday's practice after undergoing back surgery in May. Arvidsson is expected to be in his usual spot with Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore.

Arvidsson is working his way back from herniated disc surgery in mid-May. The original timetable was three-to-five months, and the Kings said he's on track for the back-end of that timetable. Gabriel Vilardi and Samuel Fagemo are two candidates to replace Arvidsson on the Kings' second line to start the season.

Arvidsson has missed the first five games of the series and will miss at least the next two games (if the Oilers win on Thursday). It's unclear how long Arvidsson will be out if the Kings advance beyond round 1.

Arvidsson will miss his third straight game with an undisclosed injury, which means Alex Iafallo will remain on the Kings' second line, which was so impressive in Game 1.
