VIDEO: Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins abuses Canucks' Hutton before setting up Pouliot
Perry Nelson-USA TODAY Sports
Ben Hutton will be having nightmares of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
The Vancouver Canucks defenseman was dummied by the Edmonton Oilers center Saturday night, as Nugent-Hopkins flew down the right wing and passed the puck off the boards to himself while skating past Hutton.
Nugent-Hopkins then fed Benoit Pouliot a perfect pass - on his backhand, no less - and Pouliot put the puck behind a helpless Ryan Miller.

When Nugent-Hopkins reaches top speed, not many can catch him. Definitely not Hutton.
