Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss Sunday's game versus the Arizona Coyotes and at least one more after that as he deals with a hand injury, the team announced.

The 26-year-old played nearly 19 minutes Saturday during Edmonton's win over the Vegas Golden Knights, so it's unknown when he suffered the injury.

Sam Gagner has moved into Nugent-Hopkins' spot centering the Oilers' second line, according to team play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Nugent-Hopkins has notched five goals and 10 assists in 25 games this season.

St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo is suspended four games for repeatedly cross-checking Nashville Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson on Saturday, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.

Bortuzzo was assessed a two-minute minor for the play, which occurred in the first period. Arvidsson exited the game with a lower-body injury and has since been ruled out of action for four-to-six weeks.

This marks Bortuzzo's third suspension in the NHL. The 30-year-old was booked for two games in 2014 as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins for a high hit on Jaromir Jagr before missing two preseason contests and one regular-season game in 2018 for an elbow on Michal Kempny.

Bortuzzo has appeared in 11 games for the Blues this season, notching one assist while averaging 12:25 of ice time per contest.

Arvidsson has registered six goals and nine assists in 22 games this year for the Predators.

Nashville Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after being cross-checked by St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo during Saturday's contest, the team announced Sunday.

Arvidsson played one more shift after the incident before exiting the game.

Bortuzzo received a two-minute minor penalty for cross-checking on the play and was scheduled for a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Sunday.

Arvidsson has been a key contributor throughout his tenure with the Predators, and he's led the club in goals over the last three campaigns.

The 26-year-old Swede has tallied six goals and 15 points in 22 contests this season.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Alex Kerfoot will have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Monday.

The incident occurred in the second period of Saturday's contest. Johnson remained in the game and Kerfoot was handed a two-minute minor for boarding.

The 25-year-old Kerfoot has appeared in 179 career NHL contests and has never faced supplemental discipline.

He was playing against his former team, as the Leafs acquired the 5-foot-10 pivot as part of the July deal that sent forward Nazem Kadri to Colorado.

In 22 games with the Leafs this season, Kerfoot has contributed five goals and eight points.

Calgary Flames defenseman T.J. Brodie skated with the team on Sunday for the first time since collapsing during practice on Nov. 14.

Brodie, who has missed the club's last five games, is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's tilt with the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to Sportsnet's Ryan Leslie.

The 29-year-old was immediately taken to the hospital following the incident. He was discharged later that day and has been recovering at home since. Flames doctor Ian Auld said Brodie's episode is likely related to fainting as opposed to a brain issue.

Brodie (black jersey) looked comfortable as he took part in drills during the optional skate.

The 6-foot-1 rearguard has contributed eight assists through 21 games this season while logging an average of 19:13 of ice time per game.
