News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins underwent successful shoulder surgery Tuesday, according to the Oilers' official Twitter page.
Analysis: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins figures to be back at 100 percent by the time training camp rolls around this fall. He will be coming off the injury and a very disappointing sophomore season, but that could make him a nice bargain come draft day.

Nugent-Hopkins Assists Twice In Edmonton's Win

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins bagged a pair of assists (including one on the power play) in Edmonton's 4-0 win over Vancouver on Saturday night.
Analysis: The difference between this season and last year's brilliant rookie campaign is that his shooting percentage has dropped off a cliff. Last year, when he lit the lamp 18 times in 62 games, he connected at a 13.4% pace. This year, he has just three goals on 66 shots (3.0%). He's too young to have a meaningful baseline in order to project a bounce-back, though our best sense is that his shooting touch will return.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Assists Twice

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins picked up two assists in Tuesday's win over the Blues.
Analysis: The line of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins centering Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall looked mighty good in this one, providing all of Edmonton's offense despite not playing a whole lot of minutes. RNH may still need to work on his strength and conditioning, but he's notched six points in his last six games, suggesting that he's starting to find his stride.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Still Not Looking Right

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins still doesn't look close to 100 percent, according to the Edmonton Journal.
Analysis: RNH was dealing with strep throat and the flu, which led to some weight loss, as he reportedly is tipping the scales at just under 170 lbs. He will continue to be eased back into the lineup until his strength and stamina return.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Back In Business

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) is ready to return to action.
Analysis: With Ryan Nugent-Hopkins recovered from his illness and slated to play Monday against Nashville, the Oilers have sent Teemu Hartikainen to AHL Oklahoma City.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins To Travel With Team

News: Though he was placed on IR after missing the last two games with an illness, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will accompany the team on its upcoming road trip, according to the Oilers official site.
Analysis: Coach Ralph Krueger had originally stated that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had just a 24-hour flu bug, but was still unable to play Saturday. The team placed him on IR to open up a roster spot, but feels confident that the 19-year-old center could return either Monday or Tuesday. Nugent-Hopkins may have just two goals and nine assists, but he remains a strong part of the Oilers' offense.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Placed On IR

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) was placed on IR on Saturday, according to the Edmonton Journal.
Analysis: The Oilers are still calling this just an illness but there is also a chance that RNH will miss the team's upcoming two-game road trip. It seems to us this is something more than just a case of the flu.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins (Illness) "Very Doubtful" For Saturday

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) is "very doubtful" for Saturday's game against the Blues, according to coach Ralph Krueger, Dan Tencer of 630 CHED reports.
Analysis: Krueger indicated Thursday that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins just had a 24-hour flu bug, and would likely play Saturday, but the 19-year-old is reportedly still very sick. Consider him day-to-day heading into Monday.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Expected To Play Saturday

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (flu) is expected to suit up Saturday versus the Blues, according to the Edmonton Journal.
Analysis: Coach Ralph Krueger has stated that the flu is of the 24-hour variety. The Oilers really miss RNH on the power play as he seems to be the engine that makes that unit go. The team is also extremely thin at center and can't afford to have him sit out another game.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Under The Weather

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against the Sharks, according to Oilers Radio Network's Dan Tencer.
Analysis: The Oilers' next game isn't until Saturday against the Blues, which will hopefully provide Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with enough time to recover from his illness by then.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Still Off His Stride

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins went minus-3 with three shots on goal while losing seven of 12 faceoffs in Tuesday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: He was on the ice for all three Los Angeles goals, which is pretty tough, though he should get a pass, as it goes, on the empty-netter at the end. RNH has simply not hit his stride yet, as he's got just a single goal on the season and just two points in eight February games. This despite receiving heavy minutes, especially on the power play.

Nugent-Hopkins Bags First Goal Of Season For Oilers

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins finally got off the goal-scoring schneid Saturday, lighting the lamp in the second period of Edmonton's 6-4 triumph over Colorado.
Analysis: Those who drafted him with stars in their eyes have been dismayed to watch game after game without a goal. We sense that his second tally will arrive in far fewer than the 13 games it took for the first one. If his owner in your league is still cynical, do what you can to pick him up in trade; his ceiling is very high.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Back In Saddle

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) played 22:03 in his return to action Saturday. He fired two shots, blocked three and threw one hit. Unfortunately, he only won five of 16 faceoffs.
Analysis: He'll get his timing back soon enough. Get him back into your lineup STAT.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Back In The Lineup Saturday

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) will return to the lineup Saturday.
Analysis: With five points through nine games, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has gotten off to a slow start. Prior to suffering the injury, he tallied just one assist in his last four games, but it appears safe to use Nugent-Hopkins as you normally would.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Hopes To Play Saturday

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) hopes another rest day Friday will have him ready to suit up for Saturday's game at Detroit. "It was just a little upper-body soreness." Nugent-Hopkins said Thursday."It's day-to-day right now."
Analysis: We'll track the status of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins leading up to Saturday's contest, but Mark Arcobello's demotion to the AHL on Thursday hints that RNH may be a go.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Not Out Of The Woods

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) isn't out of the woods, according to the Edmonton Journal.
Analysis: The Oilers are worried that a hit to the shoulder could sideline the young center. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will work on strengthening the area but surgery may eventually be required.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins To Miss Game Wednesday

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) will miss the Oilers' game against Dallas on Wednesday, according to the Edmonton Sun's Rob Tychkowski. "Nuge will not play tonight,"coach Ralph Krueger said Wednesday."He's sore. We expect to see him back in the lineup Saturday. It's short-term for sure."
Analysis: We'll consider Ryan Nugent-Hopkins day-to-day, but Krueger's comments suggest that the center -- who has five assists in nine games to date -- should be a go Saturday against the Red Wings.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Misses Morning Skate

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (unspecified issue) was absent from Wednesday's morning skate, Oilers Radio Network's Dan Tencer reports.
Analysis: Tencer notes that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been banged up in two of the Oilers' last three games, so for the moment there's some doubt with regards to the forward's status for Wednesday night's game against the Stars.

Nugent-Hopkins' Assist Streak Continues In Oilers' Loss

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins posted an assist for the third straight game as Edmonton dropped a close game at Calgary on Saturday night.

Oils' RNH: Best Forward At World Juniors

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and three assists in Canada's 6-5 loss to Russia in the bronze medal match at the World Junior Hockey Championship on Saturday. He finished as the top overall scorer with four goals and 11 assists, and was named the best forward at the tournament.
Analysis: He'll be a point-per-game producer in the NHL when (if) the season starts. And he'll likely have more value in single-year leagues this year than many higher-profile veterans who haven't suited up since last season.

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Leading World Junior Scoring

News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins set up three goals in Canada's 4-1 win over Russia at the World Junior Hockey Championship on Monday. He is running away with the tournament scoring lead with 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in four games.
Analysis: It's easy to see his brilliance and his game-changing ability in both ends of the ice. RNH is still just 19, but he's already a guy who can be considered a fantasy pillar in keeper formats.
