Ryan Nugent-Hopkins a game-time decision for Oilers with undisclosed injury

By Canadian Press on June 9, 2025.

SUNRISE — Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins remains a question mark for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final.

The versatile forward missed Sunday’s practice with an undisclosed injury.

Nugent-Hopkins came on late for the team’s optional morning skate Monday at Amerant Bank Arena.

Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch said Nugent-Hopkins will take warm-ups and be a game-time decision with the title series against the Florida Panthers tied 1-1.

Veteran winger Jeff Skinner looks set to draw into the lineup if Nugent-Hopkins, who has five goals and 13 assists in 18 games in these playoffs, is unable to go.

Florida winger A.J. Greer will return from injury in place of Jesper Boqvist after missing the first two games of the final.
