The Edmonton Oilers have been without forward Viktor Arvidsson for the past 10 games due to an undisclosed injury, and head coach Kris Knoblauch finally provides fans with a long overdue update.

Kris Knoblauch provides injury update on Viktor Arvidsson
Kris Knoblauch indicated that Viktor Arvidsson has started skating with hopes that he'll be able to participate in practice sometime this week.
This is welcomed news for Oilers enthusiasts, who have been growing frustrated with the lack of medical updates from the team.
Back on November 14th, Viktor Arvidsson missed practice due to a maintenance day.
The following day, Kris Knoblauch listed him as 50/50 for the game against the Nashville Predators, and he hasn't been available for a game since.
According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, Arvidsson was arguably the Oilers biggest offseason addition, but things haven't panned out positively in his early tenure with the team.
In 16 games, Arvidsson has only 2 goals and 5 points while mostly playing alongside Leon Draisaitl. For a player who's been a proven offensive producer through his career, his scoring pace of 10 goals on the season is a big disappointment.
Recently, Viktor Arvisson was named to the Swedish National Teamahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off Tournament which left some fans scratching their heads due to the mysterious nature of his injury.
These updates from Kris Knoblauch suggests that Viktor Arvidsson will likely be ready to go come puck drop in February.
