Game 4 wasn\u2019t the only thing the Boston Bruins lost today. Before the end of the game, the Bruins announced<\/a> that veteran winger Viktor Arvidsson<\/a> had left the game with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n

Arvidsson informally left the game with only a few minutes remaining in the first period. After the Buffalo Sabres had already taken a commanding lead, defenseman Mattias Samuelsson<\/a> landed a hard hit on Arvidsson along the boards, which seemingly shook the winger up. The hit wasn\u2019t dirty by any stretch of the imagination, and likely just caught Arvidsson in the wrong spot.<\/p>\n

Already on the brink of elimination, the possibility of being without Arvidsson in Game 5 certainly lowers the Bruins\u2019 chances of staving off the Sabres any longer. The 33-year-old forward was electric in Boston\u2019s only win of the series thus far, scoring two goals with a +1 rating in Game 2 in 13:52 of ice time.<\/p>\n

If Arvidsson is unable to go when the series continues in Buffalo, the Bruins will have to sort out the top six of the forward group. Head coach Marco Sturm<\/a> will likely move Marat Khusnutdinov<\/a> to the top line alongside Elias Lindholm<\/a> and David Pastrnak<\/a>, while moving Morgan Geekie<\/a> down to the second line to take Arvidsson\u2019s spot. Regardless, it puts the Bruins in an even bigger hole after getting embarrassed on their home ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Game 4 wasn\u2019t the only thing the Boston Bruins lost today.
