Ryan Nugent-Hopkins suffers significant hand injury in Oilers' victory

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is out with a serious hand injury, Oilers' coach Todd McLellan said Monday night after his team's 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers.

What It Means:

Nugent-Hopkins suffered the injury in the second period when he blocked a shot by Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov during a Florida power play. He left the ice 2:47 into the second period with Edmonton leading 2-0. Nugent-Hopkins had an assist on a Taylor Hall goal in the first period.

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.
