Nugent-Hopkins was injured in the New Years Eve matinee against the New Jersey Devils and flew back to Edmonton after the game for further evaluation. Earlier Wednesday, the Oilers placed him on the injured reserve.
Appearing in 30 games this year for the Oilers, Nugent-Hopkins has been in the midst of one of his best seasons in the NHL. He’s scored three goals and 26 points, the second-best point-per-game pace of his career.
