The Edmonton Oilers listed forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the club's second line in advance of Friday's game against the Vancouver Canucks.

Nugent-Hopkins took line rushes in practice alongside Teddy Purcell and Nail Yakupov, and is expected to make his return to the lineup after missing two games with an undisclosed injury.

In two games this season, Nugent-Hopkins recorded one assist, five shots on goal, and engaged in his first NHL fight.
