The Boston Bruins said forward Viktor Arvidsson won’t return to Game 4 of the team’s Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.
Arvidsson appeared to be hurt after receiving a hard check from Buffalo defenseman Mattias Samuelsson in his left arm during the first period.
Arvidsson, 33, had 54 points (25 goals, 29 assists) in 69 regular-season games in his first season with Boston. He was tied for the team lead with two playoff goals, netting both during the Bruins’ Game 2 victory.
The Bruins trailed the series two games to one and surrendered a 4-0 lead to the Sabres after one period. The Sabres were in front 5-0 early in the third.
