• Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Nets PP goal Saturday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights. Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring for the Oilers on the power play during the first period, and he later set up Zach Hyman's tally to give the Oilers a two-goal lead. The 31-year-old playmaker has been trending in the right direction. RNH has cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last eight appearances, tallying four goals and four assists in that span.

• Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Scores power-play goal

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild. Nugent-Hopkins found the back of the net for the third time across his last seven appearances, and this was his first power-play goal this season. The left winger has cracked the scoresheet four times in that aforementioned seven-game stretch, tallying six points (three goals, three assists). Even though he's not expected to reach the productive levels of teammates such as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins should continue to find ample opportunities to produce through his first-line role and spot on the first power-play unit.

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins posted two assists, including one on the power play, and four shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets. Nugent-Hopkins has multiple points in two of his last three contests. The 31-year-old forward also earned his first power-play point since Nov. 9 versus the Canucks in this contest. For the season, the winger is up to four goals, 10 helpers (four on the power play), 57 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating across 26 appearances. Nugent-Hopkins remains in a top-six role, but his current pace would put him below the 50-point mark for the first time in a full season since 2017-18.

• Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Steals and scores in overtime

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins scored the game-winning goal and fired three shots on net in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah. Nugent-Hopkins stole the puck and rushed in for an unassisted goal to seal the Oilers' victory. This was his second tally over the last four contests, giving him three goals and 10 points through 23 outings overall. He's added 47 shots on net and a minus-2 rating while playing consistently in the top six. The Oilers scored multiple power-play goals for the first time in a single game this season, and if they can get going in that area, Nugent-Hopkins should enjoy a bump in his offense.
