Viktor Arvidsson has been given the green light.

The Nashville Predators forward will return to the lineup against the Boston Bruins on Saturday after missing the club's last 12 games with a lower-body injury, the team announced.

Arvidsson suffered the injury Nov. 23 against the St. Louis Blues when defenseman Robert Bortuzzo landed a pair of cross-checks to the Swede's lower back. Bortuzzo was assessed a four-game suspension.

The 26-year-old marksman has been the Predators' most consistent scorer, leading the club in goals during each of the previous three campaigns. Nashville posted a record of 6-3-3 in his absence.

Through 22 games this season, Arvidsson has recorded six goals and 15 points while logging an average of 17:13 of ice time per contest.
