The injury bug has struck Ryan Nugent-Hopkins once again.

The Edmonton Oilers center will be out at least one game with what head coach Todd McLellan is calling a "minor concussion." The team added that he will continue to be evaluated.

Nugent-Hopkins left Tuesday's contest against the Arizona Coyotes after taking a high hit from defenseman Connor Murphy.

The 22-year-old's latest bout with injury comes after he missed 23 games with a broken right index finger from Jan. 18 to March 12.
