Nugent-Hopkins scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Kraken.
Making his return from a nine-game absence due to an undisclosed issue, Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring -- and gave Stuart Skinner all the offensive support he would need -- by completing a tic-tac-toe passing sequence with Evan Bouchard and Connor McDavid. The game-winning goal was Nugent-Hopkins' first of the season, and through 17 games, he's racked up six goals and 18 points, including 11 (three goals and eight helpers) with the man advantage.
