Arvidsson previously played in his native Sweden, winning the Swedish Championship twice with Skellefteå AIK in the Swedish Hockey League. On July 15, 2014, Arvidsson signed a three-year entry level contract with the Predators.

On March 20, 2015, the Predators recalled Arvidsson from the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League under emergency conditions, after Colin Wilson suffered a lower-body injury in practice on March 19, 2015. Arvidsson made his NHL debut with the Predators on March 21, 2015, playing 12 minutes and 52 seconds and recording 3 shots on goal, 1 hit, and 1 takeaway, in a 3-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres.

On October 8, 2015, Arvidsson scored his first NHL goal against Cam Ward of the Carolina Hurricanes, a goal that eventually proved to be the game-winner.

He scored his first career Stanley Cup Playoff goal on May 9, 2016 in overtime of Game 6 of the Western Conference Semi Finals against the San Jose Sharks to force the series to a deciding seventh game, where San Jose took the victory.

Arvidsson scored his first career hat trick in a 7-4 loss to the Florida Panthers on February 11, 2017. One of the three goals was short-handed.
