Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Sharks. The decision doesn't come as much of a surprise after Nugent-Hopkins failed to return to practice Wednesday. With only Saturday's game in Vancouver left on the schedule, it looks quite possible that Nugent-Hopkins won't play again this season, though coach Todd Nelson said the center hasn't officially been ruled out. With 24 goals, 56 points, and a minus-12 rating across 76 games this season, RNH has turned in production remarkably similar to what he posted in those categories in 2013-14 (24, 56, minus-12 in 80 games).
