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.

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
