Five points in last five games Nugent-Hopkins scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 win over Buffalo. One of the goals came on the power play.

Impact He tied the game in the second and then scored the go-ahead goal in the third. Nugent-Hopkins took a backdoor feed in the right face-off circle and snapped the puck past James Reimer's glove. He has scuffled this season, and he's on pace to barely hit the 50-point mark. But Nugent-Hopkins has five points, including two, two-point games, and nine shots in his last five games. He has just three other multi-point games, all two pointers, this season, and all three came in a 15-day span starting the last day of November. RNH is better than what he's showing, so he could be a solid second-half boost to your lineup if he can maintain some momentum.
