9 months agoEdmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) will be in the lineup for Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final against Florida on Monday. The longest-tenured Oiler missed Sunday's practice because he was feeling under the weather, but the illness bug won't keep Nugent-Hopkins from competing in the biggest game in hockey. The special game comes exactly 13 years after Edmonton selected Nugent-Hopkins first overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. The 31-year-old is a massive piece for the Oilers in all situations and has performed well in the postseason, notching seven goals and 22 points in 24 games. However, Nugent-Hopkins has been limited to only two assists on the offensive end in the matchup against the Panthers.
