  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Buries shorthanded goal

    Nurse scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers. Nurse missed three games after taking a high hit from Ryan Reaves last Saturday versus Toronto. In his return, Nurse led the Oilers with 23:30 of ice time in a blowout win, so it looks like he's fine moving forward. The defenseman has racked up three goals, 10 points, 49 shots on net, 34 hits, 35 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 19 outings in a top-four role this season. His all-around production will benefit fantasy managers who weathered his absence.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Suiting up Saturday

    Nurse (upper body) will play Saturday against the Rangers, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. Nurse will rejoin the Edmonton lineup after missing the Oilers' previous three contests. The 29-year-old blueliner has two goals, nine points and a plus-2 rating in 18 games this season.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Could return Saturday

    Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Thursday that Nurse (upper body) could return for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. Nurse sustained an upper-body injury against the Maple Leafs on Nov. 16 and carried a return timetable of 5-10 days. While he's been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wild, he could be back in action after missing under a week. If he's unable to suit up against the Rangers, he'll have plenty of time to recover since the Oilers won't play again until Nov. 29 against Utah.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Set to miss 5-10 days

    Nurse (upper body) is expected to be out for about 5-10 days, per Kenzie Lalonde of TSN on Monday. Nurse left Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto early in the second period following a high hit from Ryan Reaves, who received a five-game suspension. The 29-year-old Nurse has two goals, seven assists, 45 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and 34 hits across 18 appearances this season. He will be replaced in Monday's lineup against Montreal by Josh Brown.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Won't play Monday

    Nurse (upper body) will not be in the lineup against the Canadiens on Monday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. At this point, Nurse should probably be considered a heavy doubt to face the Senators on Tuesday with the Oilers heading into a back-to-back. With the veteran blueliner sidelined and an injury keeping Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) out, the Oilers figure to roll with seven defensemen, which means both Josh Brown and Troy Stecher should see minutes over the next two games.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Exits game with upper-body injury

    Nurse sustained an upper-body injury during Saturday's tilt against Toronto and won't return to the game. Nurse logged 7:45 of ice time before departing the contest. He entered the game with two goals, nine points, 33 hits and 31 blocks in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Edmonton has only 11 healthy forwards and seven defensemen on the roster, so if Nurse and Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) can't play Monday versus Montreal, a call-up from the AHL will be necessary.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Three points in overtime win

    Nurse scored two goals, dished an assist, added four hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators. Nurse had his best game of the season by far, which included him scoring the game-winning goal at 2:33 of the extra session. The defenseman has earned seven points over his last eight contests. He's up to two goals, nine points, 43 shots on net, 33 hits, 31 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances. Nurse is a reliable fantasy defender most of the time, but an uptick in offense makes him a must-have in formats that count lots of categories.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Provides helper in loss

    Nurse logged an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. Nurse has four helpers over the last five games -- he's only been held off the scoresheet in Monday's shutout loss to the Devils in that span. The defenseman is up to six assists, 38 shots on net, 24 hits, 28 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 14 outings overall. If he can continue to provide fairly steady offense, Nurse should be rostered in most fantasy formats due to his category coverage.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Slides assist in win

    Nurse notched an assist, four shots on goal, five hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flames. A helper on Mattias Janmark's empty-netter was the cherry on top for a well-rounded effort from Nurse in this contest. This was Nurse's third straight game with an assist. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to five helpers, 33 shots on net, 22 hits, 25 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 12 outings overall. He's shooting more than he has in the previous two years, which should help sustain his decent start on offense.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Garners helper Thursday

    Nurse posted an assist, five shots on goal, four hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators. Nurse has a helper in each of the last two games, giving him four assists through 11 contests overall. The 29-year-old defenseman is playing on the second pairing, though he still sees significant minutes in all situations. He's added 29 shots on net, 17 hits, 21 blocks, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating. Nurse offers decent category coverage aside from power-play production -- his plus-minus rating should eventually get to positive if the Oilers get back on track as a team.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Assist, fight in win

    Nurse notched an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and five PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators. Nurse scrapped with Michael McCarron in the first period in a heavyweight bout. In the second, Nurse picked up his second assist in as many games when he set up a Jeff Skinner tally. The 29-year-old Nurse has two helpers, 12 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and five PIM over five appearances this year. At his best, he can provide strong category coverage, particularly in hits, blocks and PIM. He's reached the 30-point mark in six straight seasons as well.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Receives green light

    Nurse (undisclosed) was cleared Monday to return to game action, according to Sportsnet's Mark Spector. Nurse has been participating in all the drills during training camp, and he should see playing time in one or both of Edmonton's final two preseason contests. The Oilers visit Seattle on Wednesday before heading to Vancouver for Friday's matchup. Nurse produced 10 goals, 32 points, 181 shots on net, 172 blocked shots and 168 hits in 81 outings during the 2023-24 regular season.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Bothered by lingering issue

    Nurse is continuing to recover from an undisclosed injury suffered last season, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports Wednesday. Nurse is not expected to miss any regular-season games but is unlikely to be available early in camp. As such, look for Nurse to miss the preseason opener versus Winnipeg on Sept. 22. The absence of the veteran blueliner will likely give Travis Dermott more opportunities to show he still has something left in the tank while on his tryout. Once Nurse is cleared to play, he figures to be paired with offseason acquisition Ty Emberson on the second pairing. Nurse may also be in the mix for power-play time, though he'll likely be competing with Emberson and Mattias Ekholm for a spot on the second unit.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Deposits empty-netter

    Nurse scored an empty-net goal, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6. Nurse has two goals this postseason, and he's scored both of them over the last three games. The defenseman is up to six points, 42 shots on net, 48 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 24 playoff contests. He'll likely remain in a second-pairing role for Monday's Game 7.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Pots goal in Game 4 win

    Nurse scored a goal on six shots, blocked five shots, added four PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4. There's been little to like from Nurse's game this postseason, but he was at his best, aside from the penalties, in Saturday's big win. The defenseman has just five points through 22 playoff contests, and he's still at a minus-11 rating. He's remained a physical force on the blue line with 46 hits and 55 blocks.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Collects assist in loss

    Nurse notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3. Nurse was questionable heading into Thursday's game after leaving Monday's Game 1 with a hip injury. The 29-year-old defenseman snapped his four-game slump with a helper on a Philip Broberg tally in the third period. Nurse has underwhelmed this postseason with four helpers, a minus-14 rating, 50 blocked shots, 45 hits and 32 shots on net through 21 appearances, though he remains in a top-four role.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Slated to play in Game 3

    Nurse (hip) is expected to play in Game 3 against Florida on Thursday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Wednesday. Nurse was initially questionable after sustaining a hip injury during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers, and that concern only grew after he missed Wednesday's practice, per Reid Wilkins of 630 CHED. However, coach Kris Knoblauch expects the 29-year-old Nurse to be available Thursday. Nurse has struggled in the 2024 playoffs, recording just three assists and posting a terrible minus-15 rating over 20 appearances.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Game 3 status uncertain

    Nurse, who reportedly suffered a hip injury in Game 2 on Monday, is still being evaluated. Coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters, "Haven't spoken to our medical staff. I'll be seeing them in about 15 minutes, and I'll get their report," per Tracey Myers of NHL.com. Nurse offered little in the way of fantasy impact in Game 2, posting zero shots, zero hits and just one block in his limited 4:20 of ice time. If the veteran blueliner can't go Thursday for Game 3, Cody Ceci figures to rejoin the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch Monday.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Big impact in Game 4 win

    Nurse logged an assist, 12 hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4. Nurse has been the target of some ire for his poor play in the playoffs, and he got off to an ugly start in this game. He was on the ice for both of the Stars' first-period tallies, including one that banked into the net off his body. Nurse was able to rebound, picking up a helper on a Ryan McLeod goal, and he followed up with a huge physical performance for the rest of the game. Nurse has just three assists with an ugly minus-12 rating through 16 playoff contests, but he's added 35 hits, 37 blocked shots and 31 shots on net while playing in a top-four role. That non-scoring production still gives him a path to relevance in DFS formats.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Bags power-play assist

    Nurse notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3. Nurse snapped a four-game dry spell with his helper on a Mattias Ekholm tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Nurse has been limited to two assists over eight playoff outings, and he's added 17 shots on net, 13 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's played on the second pairing, with Ekholm leapfrogging Nurse for a spot alongside Evan Bouchard on the top pairing. Nurse can still add some physicality, but his offense is likely to be limited with less ice time.
