Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is ready to go.
The Edmonton Oilers forward is set to return to the lineup Saturday against the New York Rangers after missing 18 games with an upper-body injury, he confirmed to David Amber of Hockey Night in Canada.
The Oilers activated Nugent-Hopkins off injured reserve Saturday.
He was paired with Mike Cammalleri and deadline addition Pontus Aberg at the morning skate.
In 46 games this season, Nugent-Hopkins has tallied 16 goals and 15 assists.
