EDMONTON — Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss his second straight game Thursday as the Edmonton Oilers visit the Vancouver Canucks.
The veteran forward has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury suffered in practice Monday.
Nugent-Hopkins also sat out Edmonton’s 6-5 overtime loss to Vancouver in Tuesday’s season opener.
Head coach Mike Babcock called Nugent-Hopkins day-to-day, but added that to him that usually means “two weeks.”
