As per Jason Gregor via X, Viktor Arvidsson is taking a maintenance day, hinting that he might be resting some minor bumps and bruises sustained in last nights game against the Islanders.
Although Kris Knoblauch ensures fans that Arvidsson's injuries aren't too serious, it does have implications of their starting roster tomorrow night.
As per Oiler Daily, coach Knoblauch seems to be continuing his demotion for Jeff Skinner. The 32 year old veteran of over 1000 NHL games hasn't clicked yet in Edmonton, and Knoblauch doesn't seem to have too much patience for Skinner figuring it out in the top six.
Will Arvidsson be good for tomorrow's milestone game? Time will tell.
