  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars. Nugent-Hopkins has a helper in back-to-back games after going four contests without a point. The 31-year-old made a touch pass to set up Connor McDavid for some one-on-one wizardry on the Oilers' fourth goal of the game. Nugent-Hopkins is now at 39 points, 119 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 62 appearances this season as a regular in the top six.

• Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Logs power-play helper

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins notched a power-play assist and three hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens. The helper snapped a four-game point drought for Nugent-Hopkins. Despite his lack of offense lately, he remains in a top-six role -- he saw a hefty 22:42 of ice time Thursday and has been over the 20-minute mark in three of his last four games. For the season, the 31-year-old has had a somewhat disappointing output, producing 38 points, 118 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 61 appearances. He won't match last year's 67-point campaign, but the 50-point mark is still within reach.

• Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Notches two points

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Nugent-Hopkins tallied a goal, a power-play assist and a blocked shot during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals. Nugent-Hopkins netted his 16th goal of the season too late for the Oilers to mount a comeback. The first overall pick from the 2011 NHL Entry Draft has been one of the Oilers' most consistent producers in recent weeks with nine goals and 18 points in his last 21 games. A return to a top-six role would be welcome, but Nugent-Hopkins will continue to be a worthwhile fantasy play as long as he's getting exposure to the top power-play unit alongside the likes of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

While he's centered the third line recently, his power-play time allows him to see fairly steady minutes regardless of his even-strength role.
