Predators place Arvidsson back on injured reserve
The Nashville Predators placed forward Viktor Arvidsson on injured reserve with an upper-body injury Monday, per the team.
The designation comes just one game after Arvidsson returned from injured reserve following a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury.
The 25-year-old apparently sustained the upper-body injury late in the third period of Saturday night's game against the Dallas Stars when he crashed into the boards after being slashed by defenseman Esa Lindell, according to The Athletic's Adam Vingan.

Arvidsson's placement on injured reserve means he'll miss at least a week, which comes at a busy time for the Predators as the club will play four times over the next six days.
