Arvidsson scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Arvidsson has six goals over his last 12 contests. That hasn't prevented him from getting shuffled into the bottom six at even strength -- he was listed on the fourth line Wednesday, though he saw a decent 13:04 of ice time. Arvidsson was limited to 27 points in 67 regular-season contests, so he can be more of a middle-six forward by production if he gets enough opportunities.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored an empty-net goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Arvidsson has tallied five times over his last eight games, and he has eight goals across 23 outings since his last assist. He's also gone minus-11 in that longer span, so the results are decidedly mixed for the veteran winger. He's up to 15 goals, 27 points, 152 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-3 rating through 65 contests this season.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Arvidsson's tally gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead early in the third period. This was his fourth goal in the last six games, but he's often struggled when Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) is unavailable as he has been for the last three contests. Arvidsson is now at 14 goals, 26 points, 146 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across 63 appearances. He's a risky fantasy option despite playing in a top-six role, as offense is the only thing he can offer in most formats.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Goals in three straight games
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Arvidsson scored for the third game in a row, and this was his first power-play tally of the season. However, there's cause for concern -- Arvidsson didn't get on the scoresheet when Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) missed four games in late March, and Draisaitl appeared to aggravate his injury Thursday. While Arvidsson has held a top-six role, the results have been mixed for much of the season. He's at 13 goals, 25 points, 138 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 60 appearances, and he could struggle if he ends up on a line without a superstar.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Arvidsson has scored in back-to-back contests and has four goals on 19 shots over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 24 points, 133 shots, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 59 appearances this season. Arvidsson will likely remain in a top-line role, at least on paper, while Connor McDavid (lower body) is still out of the lineup.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
Arvidsson didn't get on the scoresheet and went minus-7 during Leon Draisaitl's four-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Draisaitl returned and set up Arvidsson's tally late in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. The 31-year-old Arvidsson has had mixed results in a top-six role for much of this season, posting 11 goals, 23 points, 129 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-1 rating across 58 appearances.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.
Arvidsson has scored in back-to-back contests and has three goals over his last six outings. The winger is up to 10 goals, 22 points, 119 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 53 appearances this season. He's been in the middle six when healthy this season, but Arvidsson's scoring pace is one of the worst of his career, and outside of a decent shot volume, he hasn't added much else in non-scoring areas.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Nets game-winner Sunday
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Arvidsson has tallied twice over his last five games, but he's been limited to just five points across 16 contests since the start of February. The 31-year-old's goal Sunday stood as the game-winner. He's up to nine tallies, 21 points, 118 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-3 rating through 52 appearances. Arvidsson hasn't been a perfect fit in the Oilers' top six, and he was down on the third line Sunday, but he's at no risk of losing his place in the lineup.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Puts away goal in win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Arvidsson ended an eight-game goal drought with his first-period tally. The 31-year-old winger has been limited to four points over his last 12 contests despite seeing steady middle-six minutes in that span. Overall, he has eight goals, 20 points, 107 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 48 appearances. It's one of the lowest scoring paces of his career, though a lengthy injury absence and the top-heavy nature of the Oilers' offense have played significant roles in Arvidsson's season.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Plucks apple Sunday
Rotowire
Arvidsson tallied an assist, two shots and two hits during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Arvidsson has been fairly productive since returning from a 16-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, having posted five goals and 14 points in his last 26 games. The 31-year-old's fantasy value will remain limited unless he can garner a more significant role, as he's currently slotted on the third line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman.

Arvidsson opened the scoring at 8:51 of the second period. The tally ended an eight-game goal drought, during which he had two assists and 18 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 18 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 39 appearances. He got a look on the top line Wednesday, but he has most often received middle-six minutes this season.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Snags helper Saturday
Rotowire
Arvidsson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Arvidsson has been limited to two helpers over his last seven contests. The 31-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, but the Oilers are trending toward leaning on four or five forwards for significant ice time. Arvidsson is up to 17 points, 87 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 37 appearances this season.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Posts helper in win
Rotowire
Arvidsson logged an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Arvidsson helped out on Zach Hyman's opening tally at 5:52 of the first period. The 31-year-old Arvidsson has two goals and five assists over 11 contests in January -- he's settled in well to a supporting role in the Oilers' top six. The winger is at 16 points, 80 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 33 appearances this season, but his recent play is much better than how he started the campaign.

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

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

Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.
Arvidsson has two goals and four helpers over his last seven outings. His tally late in the first period Thursday sparked the Oilers' comeback from a three-goal deficit. 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.

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

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Seven points in last seven games
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-0 win over the Bruins.
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.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Dishes pair of assists
Rotowire
Arvidsson logged two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
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 his uptick in offense has been noticeable. 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.

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