Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Beasting for Team North America

Nugent-Hopkins, who's playing for Team North America in the World Cup of Hockey, registered a power-play goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to Russia.

Analysis:

Nugent-Hopkins turned down an opportunity to play for Team Canada in the World Championship in order to allow his broken hand from last season to heal, but he's looked healthy and dominant in the early going of the World Cup. He shares the scoring lead with four others in the international tournament, having collected one goal and two helpers.
