Ryan Nugent-Hopkins may not start season

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who had corrective season-ending surgery on a shoulder last season, initially expressed confidence that he would be "good to go" for the start of the next season but it's being reported now that this may not be the case.

Edmonton Oilers GM Craig MacTavish won't make any promises. "All things are very optimistic now … but the timeline before was that he’d be ready Nov. 1, in a very pessimistic timeline, and optimistically he’d be ready to start the year," MacTavish said. "We’re going to stay with that and let his progression dictate when he’s ready. We won’t be hurrying him, that’s for sure." MacTavish conceded that being without Nugent-Hopkins would create a big hole in their lineup, but it would also be an opportunity for some of the Oilers’ young forwards.

Evander Kane day-to-day, won't play Thursday

Evander Kane (lower body) won't play Thursday and he's being listed as day-to-day.

He had some extra tests done and they didn't reveal any additional damage. "We didn't see anything there that would cause us to be alarmed," coach Claude Noel said. "He's day to day and has just got to work his way through this. He won't be a player tonight and so we'll just take it one day at a time." Kane has seven goals and seven assists in 26 games this season. He has been helping in other categories (like hits, blocks and shots), but his offensive game needs to pick up once he's healthy.

Oilers to scratch ice time leader Jeff Petry

Jeff Petry will be a healthy scratch Thursday.

The move is especially surprising because Petry leads the Oilers in average ice time at 22:03 per contest. Coach Dallas Eakins is referring to Petry's seat in the press box as an opportunity to "reset" after some tough outings. He appears to taking the decision in stride, which is a good sign. "Dallas said I have to be accountable and like I've said I haven't been playing well ... he wants me to watch and hit the reset button," said Petry. "I can make this situation frustrating or I can sit out and make a positive out of it. He wants me to be harder to play against." Petry has six points and a minus-10 rating in 29 games.

Gustavsson owns a 7-0-1 record with a .929 save percentage and a 2.16 GAA.
