Awful news has just been released for Connor McDavid and the Oilers as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has fallen ill and was unable to practice ahead of the biggest game #7 in NHL History.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins did not come to the rink today. Under the weather.
Kane takes his spot at practice.


Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is -4 and has 1 goal and 1 assist in the 6 games played in the Stanley Cup Finals. In the biggest game for the Oilers, everyone is going to need to step up but it seems he will be unable to as he has gotten sick.

«Ryan Nugent-Hopkins did not come to the rink today. It's hot. Kane takes his place in training. » - Mark Spector, Sportsnet


Even if the former #1 Overall pick does decide to play, he will not be at his best, yes Jordan had his "flu game" but Nugent-Hopkins is no Michael Jordan. Regardless, it is still terrible timing as they will be without a key member of their
core.

Here is what the Lineup will look like with out him:


Kane* - McDavid - Hyman

Foegele - Draisaitl - Holloway

Janmark - Henrique - Brown

McLeod - Ryan - Perry

Ekholm - Bouchard

Nurse - Broberg

Kulak - Ceci

Skinner

Pickard
