Lands on IR Arvidsson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.

Impact Arvidsson is considered week-to-week with the lower-body injury he sustained during Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 30-year-old winger made his season debut last Thursday against New Jersey after missing the first 50 games of the campaign while recovering from back surgery, but it isn't clear if this latest issue is related to that injury. Morgan believes Arvidsson could eventually land on long-term injured reserve, so it seems like he's likely facing another extended absence.

Labeled week-to-week Arvidsson (lower body) is out week-to-week, Kevin Weekes of ESPN reports.

Impact Arvidsson was hurt on his first shift in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

Collects second helper Arvidsson posted an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Arvidsson was scoreless in his season debut on Thursday, but he's logged a helper in each of the last two games. It's encouraging that he played in both halves of this weekend's back-to-back, suggesting that his previous back injury is unlikely to negatively impact his playing time down the stretch. Arvidsson has immediately returned to a second-line role and should have some fantasy value in standard formats if his offense is steady.

Impact Arvidsson, who racked up 26 goals and 59 points through 77 contests last year, has yet to play this campaign due to a back injury, but he's expected to slot into a prominent role for his season debut, skating on the second line and No. 2 power-play unit against New Jersey.

Sheds non-contact jersey Arvidsson (back) is practicing in a regular jersey Thursday, Russell Morgan of HockeyRoyalty reports.

Arvidsson was stellar last season, scoring 26 goals and adding 33 assists in 77 appearances.

Back on ice Arvidsson (back) skated before practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, according to Russell Morgan of HockeyRoyalty.

Impact The Kings are hoping that Arvidsson is able to return by mid-February. The 30-year-old winger had a very good season in 2022-23, scoring 26 times while adding 33 assists in 77 games, playing as a top-six forward. He was expected to return to the same role this season, but he suffered a back injury in training camp and has yet to see any action this season. Upon his return, look for Arvidsson to eventually make his way back to the second line, alongside Phillip Danault.
