Arvidsson out 4-6 weeks with lower-body injury following cross-check

Nashville Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after being cross-checked by St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo during Saturday's contest, the team announced Sunday.

Arvidsson played one more shift after the incident before exiting the game.

Bortuzzo received a two-minute minor penalty for cross-checking on the play and was scheduled for a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Sunday.

Arvidsson has been a key contributor throughout his tenure with the Predators, and he's led the club in goals over the last three campaigns.

The 26-year-old Swede has tallied six goals and 15 points in 22 contests this season.
