Ryan-Nugent Hopkins Paves His Way Into NHL History Last Night
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers reached a career milestone last night by hitting the 100-point mark for the first time in his 12-year NHL career. Nugent-Hopkins recorded an empty-net assist against the Anaheim Ducks, securing his place in history as only the sixth player to achieve this feat in their 12th season or later.

The 29-year-old center has been an integral part of the Oilers' success this season, helping them secure a playoff spot in their competitive division. His consistency and offensive prowess have made him a fan favorite in Edmonton, and his achievement last night cements his place as one of the best players in franchise history.
