Ryan Nugent-Hopkins To Center First Line Versus Kraken
1 day agoEdmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will take over first-line center duties on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. Edmonton has lost Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) this week, resulting in significant lineup changes. Adam Henrique is set to play center on the second line, while Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner will join the first power-play unit. Arvidsson and Vasily Podkolzin will accompany Nugent-Hopkins on the first line. Nugent-Hopkins recently demonstrated impressive form with back-to-back three-point games, although he has been inconsistent throughout the season. In 68 games, Nugent-Hopkins has tallied 45 points (17 goals, 28 assists).
