Nugent-Hopkins is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Nugent-Hopkins has returned to Edmonton to be re-evaluated but it sounds like he's going to miss approximately 2-to-3 weeks with an upper-body injury he suffered over the weekend. Brad Malone was called up from the AHL and will serve as a bottom-6 centre on Tuesday with Nugent-Hopkins unavailable.

Nugent-Hopkins (lower-body) is expected to be back in the Oilers lineup on Tuesday.

Nugent-Hopkins has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but is set to play Tuesday in Vancouver. The Oilers will go with a different look, centring the third line with Zack Kassian and Brendan Perlini, instead of playing with Leon Draisaitl.

Nugent-Hopkins (sternum) is “penciled into” Saturday’s lineup.

Nugent-Hopkins has missed the last 18 games with a sternum/ribs injury but it looks like he is set to return tomorrow. The Oilers season is over, but RNH has a chance to build off of a strong first-half of the season, where he picked up 16 goals and 15 assists (31 points) in 46 games.
