Boston Bruins head coach Marco Sturm gave fans the injury update they were dreading before the must-win Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres. He told Connor Ryan of the Boston Globe that second-line winger Viktor Arvidsson would be out for Game 6, barring a miracle.
"I don't think so," Sturm said when asked if Arvidsson would be available. "Maybe there's a miracle overnight, but we're planning not."
The 33-year-old scorer has been playing some of the best hockey of his life in his first season with the Bruins. He scored 25 goals and tallied 29 assists in 69 regular-season games played.
Arvidsson drew on his bountiful Stanley Cup Playoff experience while he was healthy, showing up as a difference-maker in the first few games of this series.
He scored the first goal in the Bruins Game 2 win over Buffalo, as well as finding the back of the net for the dagger shot that put Boston up 4-0 on the Sabres home ice in the third period.
The winger tallied four shots in more than 15 minutes of ice time in the narrow Game 3 defeat, and did not return to the ice after just a few shifts into the Game 4 blowout loss.
Viktor Arvidsson is out for Game 6 due to an injury, as confirmed by Bruins coach Marco Sturm.
Arvidsson's absence is significant as he is a pivotal second-liner, impacting the Bruins' offensive strategy in a must-win game.
