Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Dishes pair of helpers in win

Nugent-Hopkins set up a pair of goals in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Analysis:

The Nuge grabbed the primary apple on each of Benoit Pouliot's second-period goals, the first of which was particularly impressive, as he intercepted a pass, blew past a Caps defender, and threw a shot on goal that Pouliot tipped in. Nugent-Hopkins now has four assists in seven games, but he hasn't scored a goal -- which isn't that surprising, considering he's recorded two or fewer shots on goal in five of those contests.
