Expected to be available Saturday Head coach Kris Knoblauch announced Tuesday that Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday in Seattle, per Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins has missed eight consecutive games due to his undisclosed injury. The left-shot forward will remain sidelined Tuesday against the Stars, but his impending return to the lineup should provide a major spark for a struggling Oilers squad. Nugent-Hopkins has posted five goals, 11 helpers, 23 shots on goal and a minus-11 rating while averaging 18:49 of ice time over 16 appearances this season.

Unsure about availability Tuesday Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) isn't sure if he will be ready to face the Stars on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins told reporters he still needed to talk to the team, but it seems like he may be close to being a game-time call. Fantasy managers will have to wait to see how Tuesday's morning skate shakes out before determining if the forward will be in the lineup. Whenever Nugent-Hopkins does get the all-clear, he figures to play on the wing for one of the Oilers' top two lines.

Not traveling with team Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) isn't traveling with the Oilers for their upcoming three-game road trip, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton on Tuesday.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins is expected to practice with the team Monday in Edmonton following the road trip, and Gregor speculates that a return to the lineup Nov. 29 in Seattle makes the most sense. The 32-year-old forward has missed five straight games and was placed on injured reserve Nov. 10. Nugent-Hopkins has accounted for five goals, 16 points (nine on the power play) and a minus-11 rating through 16 appearances in 2025-26.

Designated for IR Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact With the news that Nugent-Hopkins was going to miss a week of action, and the Oilers needing a spot on the 23-man roster for Mattias Janmark (undisclosed), the decision to place Nugent-Hopkins on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. In his stead, Noah Philp will get the first crack at the second-line center role while Leon Draisaitl shifts to Connor McDavid's wing.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for one-week absence Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) will be out of action for at least one week, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Monday.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins logged only 14:50 of ice time in Saturday's 9-1 loss to Colorado. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 16 points and 23 shots on net across 16 appearances this season. With Nugent-Hopkins unavailable, Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) will come off injured reserve to make his season debut in Monday's game against Columbus.

Adds pair of helpers Nugent-Hopkins logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins helped out on goals by Jack Roslovic and Andrew Mangiapane as the Oilers jumped out to a 2-0 lead that wouldn't last. While he hasn't scored in six games, Nugent-Hopkins has six assists, including four on the power play, in that span. Overall, the 32-year-old forward is at five goals, 10 helpers, nine power-play points, 23 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 14 outings this season.

Contributes in comeback effort Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal and dished an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins' goal at 12:17 of the third period tied the game at 5-5, and it came just under a minute after he helped out on a Leon Draisaitl marker. This was Nugent-Hopkins' third multi-point effort in eight contests. He's up to five goals, four assists, five power-play points, 15 shots on net and a minus-3 rating. He remains a key part of the Oilers' lineup in all situations, and he should continue to be especially productive with the man advantage.

In on all three goals in loss Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins' goal and one of his assists came on the power play. The 32-year-old production is likely to rely heavily on the man advantage -- he earned 20 his 49 points on the power play during the 2024-25 regular season, as well as eight of his 20 points during the playoffs. He's centering his own line to begin 2025-26 as Leon Draisaitl plays wing alongside Connor McDavid early on, but that could change if head coach Kris Knoblauch opts to spread the talent around the lineup later on.
