Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Off to slow start

Nugent-Hopkins is still looking for his first goal and has collected only two assists through six games this season.

Analysis:

RNH averaged 0.71 points per game over his first five NHL seasons, so this slow start is a bit unexpected, particularly considering that he's still seeing strong ice time (17:27) even though it's down from last year (19:04). He's still seeing power-play time too, so look for the 2011 No. 1 pick to break out soon.
