After taking a puck to the face in the second period, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will try to return to the game against the Vancouver Canucks. He'll have a bubble helmet on when he does make his way back. 

It was an errant clear by Ryan Shea that hit Nugent-Hopkins directly in the side of the head. It wasn't clear if he would return given that he missed so much of the middle frame. 

** Update: the Oilers elected not to have Nugent-Hopkins return. It was announced around the 2 minute mark of the third that Edmonton was going to take the cautious route.
