Insider provides injury update on Viktor Arvidsson
The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for a thrilling showdown against the Vancouver Canucks tonight, but Viktor Arvidsson's health status remains uncertain after blocking a heavy shot against the Colorado Avalanche.
In the late stages of the 3rd period, Viktor Arvidsson came in clutch, blocking a shot that could have potentially saved the game for the Oilers.
Shortly after, Arvidsson left the game to seek medical attention and did not return.
With an important game tonight against the Vancouver Canucks, fans are eagerly awaiting to find out Arvidsson's health status.
Daniel Nugent Bowman provides injury update on Viktor Arvidsson

According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, It's certainly a positive update for Arvidsson and the Oilers, but sounds like he still may miss a game or two with a minor issue.
Any positive update would be a result of medical imaging not showing a major problem, but Nugent-Bowman did say that the Oilers are still on their road trip - perhaps they don't have imaging yet.
Since returning from his previous injury, Viktor has been a steady presence on the Oilers top 6.
While Daniel Nugent-Bowman confirms his injury isn't serious, his status for tonight's game against the Vancouver Canucks remains unknown.
