Story summary

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, a veteran centre for the Edmonton Oilers, will miss his second consecutive game on Thursday when the Oilers face off against the Vancouver Canucks. Nugent-Hopkins has been placed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury sustained during practice on Monday. The team’s head coach, Mike Babcock, described Nugent-Hopkins as day-to-day but typically this means an absence of about two weeks.

In addition to Nugent-Hopkins, the Oilers also put forward Matthew Savoie and defenceman Alec Regula on long-term injured reserve. To address their current roster issues, Edmonton recalled forward Josh Samanski from the American Hockey League’s Bakersfield Condors under emergency conditions. These developments come after the Oilers' 6-5 overtime loss to Vancouver in Tuesday's season opener.
