It was news we didn’t want to hear. Viktor Arvidsson is out for six to eight weeks. The check he took into the wall earlier this road trip turned into a broken thumb. Now, the Nashville Predators have a massive hole in their top line. Ryan Johansen and Filip Forsberg are fully capable of scoring and generating offense. But, having a third player opens up the ice for more.
Arvidsson did so much on the ice. His energy and speed inspired his teammate each and every game. Every moment he was on the ice, Arvidsson put in work.
