Nashville Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson will miss the next six-to-eight weeks with a broken thumb, the club announced Thursday.
Arvidsson suffered the injury late in the third period of the Predators' overtime win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday, his first game back after sitting out three contests with a separate ailment.
The 25-year-old Swede has eight goals and 13 points in 13 games this season, playing primarily on the Predators' top line alongside Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen.
