Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Moved up to top line

Nugent-Hopkins was moved back up to the top line Tuesday, reports the Oilers web site.

Coach Todd McLellan has been tinkering with his lines almost from the first game of the season but especially since Connor McDavid (collarbone) went down to injury and Jordan Eberle (shoulder) returned from his. Nugent-Hopkins was returned to the top line but as a right wing rather than at center. This is unlikely to last long and will probably only last as long as it takes Eberle to get back in game shape.
