The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up to take on the Florida Panthers in game seven of the Stanley Cup Final but they may lose one of their leaders in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Currently, the Edmonton Oilers are preparing for the biggest game of their lives tomorrow with game seven of the Stanley Cup coming up. Today, one of their star forwards and leaders, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, was missing from practice due to a reported illness.
No Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the ice at Oilers practice. He's apparently under the weather. Kane skating in his place with McDavid and Hyman.
Oilers practice in Sunrise, FL:
• Ryan Nugent-Hopkins* is not on the ice
Kane* - McDavid - Hyman Foegele - Draisaitl - Holloway Janmark - Henrique - Brown McLeod - Ryan - Perry
Ekholm - Bouchard Nurse - Broberg Kulak - Ceci
Skinner Pickard
In his place, Evander Kane is skating. Kane has been struggling with an injury and has been sidelined for the last few games but may make a miraculous return for game seven of the Stanley Cup Final.
We will watch out tomorrow to see if Nugent-Hopkins returns but as it stands, things seem to be up in the air.
