Status report
Nugent-Hopkins, who missed practice Sunday because of an undisclosed injury, took part in the morning skate and will take warmups, but is considered a game-time decision, coach Kris Knoblauch said. If Nugent-Hopkins can't play, forward Jeff Skinner will replace him. … Edmonton switched its defense pairs at practice Sunday and is expected to use them in Game 3, with Nurse moving up to play with Bouchard. … Greer returns after missing the first two games of the Final because of an undisclosed injury. He also missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final, but was limited to 4:22 in Game 5. He'll replace Boqvist, a forward.
