Predators' Viktor Arvidsson: Set to miss Thursday's clash

Arvidsson (upper body) is slated to miss Thursday's Game 6 against Carolina.

Arvidsson is expected to be on the shelf for his fourth straight outing after sustaining an upper-body injury in Game 2. Without the winger in the lineup, Matt Duchene has been moved into a first-line role while Eeli Tolvanen remains outside the top-six. Once cleared to play, Arvidsson should retake his spot on the first line, assuming the Preds can force a Game 7 or beyond.
