Edmonton Oilers Put Veteran Centre Nugent-Hopkins on Injured Reserve
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss at least one more game after an injury in practice, and the Oilers recalled Josh Samanski under emergency conditions.
- On Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers placed forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on injured reserve and recalled forward Josh Samanski from AHL Bakersfield to address roster shortages.
- Alongside Nugent-Hopkins, the Oilers placed forward Matt Savoie and defenseman Alec Regula on the long-term injured reserve list, compounding roster depth issues.
- NHL rules define "emergency conditions" as when a team falls below two goalies, six defensemen, and 12 forwards, allowing clubs to bypass standard waiver requirements.
- Samanski, a German-born forward, signed a two-year $1.95 million contract with Edmonton and recorded two goals and two assists in 24 games last season.
- Head coach Mike Babcock listed Nugent-Hopkins as day-to-day, though he noted it usually means "two weeks," as the team recovers from a 6-5 overtime loss to Vancouver.
