Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (hand) out at least six weeks
Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (hand) is expected to be sidelined for six-to-eight weeks, according to Edmonton coach Todd McLellan.
What It Means:
Nugent-Hopkins suffered the injury in the second period Monday when he blocked a shot on during a Florida Panthers' power play.
On the season, Nugent-Hopkins has eight goals and 22 assists in 46 games. We had him project for nine goals and 16 assists over the remainder of the season, but those numbers will take a hit with this news. His 48.8 Corsi For Percentage is right in line with his career average while his 0.8 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is the second-worst mark of his career.
