5 years agoEdmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins extended his point streak to six games in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Vegas, scoring his 22nd goal of the season after Alex Chiasson had notched the team's opener. Both Nugent-Hopkins and Chiasson now have three goals in the past four games. RNH has struggled in front of the goal for most of the season, but he now has nine goals since the start of last month -- seven of them have come in his past 10 appearances. The Oilers need all the goals they can get with Connor McDavid (illness) missing again. They resume action on Wednesday against Winnipeg. Nugent-Hopkins had one of his best games of the season against the Jets in the previous meeting between the two on Feb. 29, recording three points in a 3-2 win.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
