Viktor Arvidsson's story
Raised in Skellefteå, Viktor Arvidsson came up through local ranks, beginning at Kågedalens AIF before moving to Skellefteå AIK. He broke into Sweden’s top level in 2011 and was part of the Skellefteå sides that captured the Le Mat Trophy in 2013 and 2014, achievements that set the stage for his move overseas.
Selected 112th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Arvidsson signed a three-year entry-level deal on 15 July 2014. He spent time with the Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL before being recalled under emergency conditions and making his NHL debut on 21 March 2015. His first NHL goal arrived on 8 October 2015 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Arvidsson’s career in Nashville featured a clear offensive jump in 2016–17, when he posted 31 goals and 30 assists for 61 points, tying him with Ryan Johansen as the club’s leading scorer. He produced playoff moments — including an overtime winner that forced a Game 7 on 9 May 2016 — and multiple hat tricks, one of which included a short-handed goal on 11 February 2017. Injuries interrupted stretches of his seasons: a lower-body issue, a broken thumb in November 2018, and other short absences did not, however, erase his scoring impact.
Nashville avoided arbitration and re-signed him to a seven-year deal in July 2017, then traded Arvidsson to the Los Angeles Kings on 1 July 2021. As a free agent he signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Edmonton Oilers on 1 July 2024; during the 2024–25 campaign he recorded 15 goals and 12 assists in 67 regular-season games and added seven points in 15 playoff games as the Oilers reached the Stanley Cup Final. He was traded to the Boston Bruins on 1 July 2025 and later signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings on 1 July 2026.
On the ice, Arvidsson is best known for finishing ability and a knack for timely goals: several hat tricks, a short-handed multi-goal game and a penalty-shot goal among his highlights. He has also represented Sweden at youth international levels, appearing in national selections during his development.
