Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to miss Oilers season opener
Original: ryan nugent hopkins
Edmonton Oilers centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is out for the team's season opener, according to TSN's Oilers Ice Chips update. The report also notes new coach Mike Babcock may experiment by splitting Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on separate lines. Nugent-Hopkins' absence leaves a hole in Edmonton's top six and raises questions about how the forward group will be shuffled for the opener.
Why now: Fans are reacting to the injury news and Babcock's possible line changes just before the season opener.
