Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said Sunday that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will be a game-time decision for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday against the host Florida Panthers.
The Oilers did not disclose Nugent-Hopkins’ injury. The forward missed Sunday’s practice.
“We think (he’ll be available),” Knoblauch said. “We’ll play it by ear.”
Edmonton’s fourth-leading scorer in the playoffs at 18 points (five goals, 13 assists), Nugent-Hopkins took 31 shifts totaling 25:45 of ice time in Friday’s double-overtime Game 2.
The Oilers dropped that contest 5-4 to allow the Panthers to even the series at 1-1.
Nugent-Hopkins, who has spent 14 seasons with the franchise that selected him No. 1 overall in the 2011 draft, tallied 20 goals and 29 assists in 78 regular-season games.
