Projected Lineup: LA Kings vs. Predators in Game 3 (aka Arvy’s Revenge Tour in Nashville)

October 19, 2021 By MayorsManor Staff


Since being acquired by Los Angeles in early July, Kings forward Viktor Arvidsson has been saying all the right things – i.e. he had a great time in Nashville, appreciates the opportunity they gave him, and has nothing but respect for the people there. What he hasn’t said is the one universal truth of nearly every professional athlete who gets traded, they can’t wait to show their former team what they’re missing out on.

Arvidsson will get that opportunity tonight when the Kings open up their first road trip of the season in Nashville.

Kings Of The Podcast: Episode 99 with Viktor Arvidsson

Originally drafted by the Predators in 2014, the native of Sweden went on to play 385 games with the club, averaging more than 30 goals for three years before injuries entered the equation in 2019-20. Following a down year in 2021, he arrived in LA via a trade this past summer for a pair of draft picks.

His former club is 0-2 thus far, with both losses coming on home ice, so tonight’s game won’t come easy. The Kings will also be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Wild on Saturday night in LA – a game that was certainly within their reach.

Up front, Kings coach Todd McLellan looks to be making a few moves, as he wasn’t satisfied with his team’s effort against Minnesota, saying they had a few too many passengers in that game.

We had a few rusty players tonight. We are improved this year, but not enough to have passengers. — McLellan
