Arvidsson logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Arvidsson saw a playoff-high 15:39 of ice time in the double-overtime defeat. The 32-year-old has a goal and two helpers during his modest three-game point streak, which is mildly impressive since he's seeing bottom-six minutes. The winger has seven points, 24 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 playoff contests.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Tallies in Game 1 win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Arvidsson provided a quick response to Sam Bennett's second goal of the game early in the second period. This ended a nine-game goal drought for Arvidsson, who found himself a healthy scratch during parts of the second round and Western Conference Finals. He is poised to stay in the lineup now that Zach Hyman (wrist) is done for the remainder of the playoffs. Arvidsson has contributed six points, 23 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-4 rating over 12 playoff appearances.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Pots goal in loss
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Arvidsson has six goals over his last 12 contests. That hasn't prevented him from getting shuffled into the bottom six at even strength -- he was listed on the fourth line Wednesday, though he saw a decent 13:04 of ice time. Arvidsson was limited to 27 points in 67 regular-season contests, so he can be more of a middle-six forward by production if he gets enough opportunities.
Arvidsson scored an empty-net goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Arvidsson has tallied five times over his last eight games, and he has eight goals across 23 outings since his last assist. He's also gone minus-11 in that longer span, so the results are decidedly mixed for the veteran winger. He's up to 15 goals, 27 points, 152 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-3 rating through 65 contests this season.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Arvidsson's tally gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead early in the third period. This was his fourth goal in the last six games, but he's often struggled when Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) is unavailable as he has been for the last three contests. Arvidsson is now at 14 goals, 26 points, 146 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across 63 appearances. He's a risky fantasy option despite playing in a top-six role, as offense is the only thing he can offer in most formats.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Goals in three straight games
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Arvidsson scored for the third game in a row, and this was his first power-play tally of the season. However, there's cause for concern -- Arvidsson didn't get on the scoresheet when Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) missed four games in late March, and Draisaitl appeared to aggravate his injury Thursday. While Arvidsson has held a top-six role, the results have been mixed for much of the season. He's at 13 goals, 25 points, 138 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 60 appearances, and he could struggle if he ends up on a line without a superstar.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Arvidsson has scored in back-to-back contests and has four goals on 19 shots over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 24 points, 133 shots, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 59 appearances this season. Arvidsson will likely remain in a top-line role, at least on paper, while Connor McDavid (lower body) is still out of the lineup.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
Arvidsson didn't get on the scoresheet and went minus-7 during Leon Draisaitl's four-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Draisaitl returned and set up Arvidsson's tally late in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. The 31-year-old Arvidsson has had mixed results in a top-six role for much of this season, posting 11 goals, 23 points, 129 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-1 rating across 58 appearances.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.
Arvidsson has scored in back-to-back contests and has three goals over his last six outings. The winger is up to 10 goals, 22 points, 119 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 53 appearances this season. He's been in the middle six when healthy this season, but Arvidsson's scoring pace is one of the worst of his career, and outside of a decent shot volume, he hasn't added much else in non-scoring areas.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Nets game-winner Sunday
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Arvidsson has tallied twice over his last five games, but he's been limited to just five points across 16 contests since the start of February. The 31-year-old's goal Sunday stood as the game-winner. He's up to nine tallies, 21 points, 118 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-3 rating through 52 appearances. Arvidsson hasn't been a perfect fit in the Oilers' top six, and he was down on the third line Sunday, but he's at no risk of losing his place in the lineup.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Puts away goal in win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Arvidsson ended an eight-game goal drought with his first-period tally. The 31-year-old winger has been limited to four points over his last 12 contests despite seeing steady middle-six minutes in that span. Overall, he has eight goals, 20 points, 107 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 48 appearances. It's one of the lowest scoring paces of his career, though a lengthy injury absence and the top-heavy nature of the Oilers' offense have played significant roles in Arvidsson's season.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Plucks apple Sunday
Rotowire
Arvidsson tallied an assist, two shots and two hits during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Arvidsson has been fairly productive since returning from a 16-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, having posted five goals and 14 points in his last 26 games. The 31-year-old's fantasy value will remain limited unless he can garner a more significant role, as he's currently slotted on the third line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman.
Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Scores in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Arvidsson opened the scoring at 8:51 of the second period. The tally ended an eight-game goal drought, during which he had two assists and 18 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 18 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 39 appearances. He got a look on the top line Wednesday, but he has most often received middle-six minutes this season.
