Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Handed one-game ban
Nurse was suspended one game Tuesday for cross-checking the Kings' Quinton Byfield on Monday.
Nurse will get some non-optional rest ahead of the playoffs for his misdeeds during the Oilers' penultimate game. Nurse won't play versus the Sharks on Wednesday, but this suspension allows him to return for Game 1 versus the Kings at the start of the playoffs. Jake Walman (undisclosed) or Connor Carrick will fill in on the blue line while Nurse is out.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Headed for suspension
Nurse will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday.
Nurse was hit with a five-minute major and a 10-minute misconduct for his cross-check on LA's Quinton Byfield and now should be expected to receive at least a one-game ban. If the 30-year-old Nurse is suspended for more than one game, it will carry into the postseason, as the Oilers have just one regular-season game left. Unless Troy Stecher (undisclosed) or Jake Walman (undisclosed) is available for Wednesday's clash with San Jose, the team will need to bring a player up from the minors or dress just five defensemen.

Nurse logged an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Nurse reached the 300-point mark in his 714th career game. The 30-year-old defenseman has been steady lately with nine assists over his last 11 outings, though he's logged multiple helpers four times in that span.

Nurse logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Jake Walman (undisclosed) was out, leaving Nurse, Evan Bouchard and Brett Kulak to each play over 28 minutes. Nurse did well with his time, helping out on goals by Vasily Podkolzin and Viktor Arvidsson. This was Nurse's fourth two-assist effort over his last 10 games, but he's come up empty in the other six contests in that span. He's at 32 points (five goals, 27 helpers), 179 shots on net, 153 hits, 130 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 73 appearances in a top-four role.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Dishes two assists
Nurse logged two assists, three shots on goal, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
This is the kind of all-around performance that makes Nurse a reliable fantasy blueliner. He had helpers on tallies by Viktor Arvidsson and Leon Draisaitl during regulation. This was Nurse's third two-assist game in the last five contests, and he's up to 30 points in 68 outings this season, reaching that scoring threshold for the seventh year in a row. The defenseman has added 168 shots on net, 147 hits, 123 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-10 rating.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Supplies two helpers in win
Nurse recorded two assists, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
Nurse's first helper was on an Adam Henrique power-play tally in the first period, and he also assisted on the first of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' three goals in the game. The 30-year-old Nurse has erupted for four assists over his last two games. The defenseman is up to 28 points, 162 shots on net, 135 hits, 120 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 65 appearances this season. Barring a colossal slump, he should be able to get over the 30-point mark.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Provides pair of assists
Nurse logged two assists, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Nurse ended a four-game point drought with helpers on goals by Jeff Skinner and Zach Hyman in this contest. This was Nurse's first multi-point effort since Jan. 3, and the pair of points matched his output from his previous 16 contests combined. The defenseman is now at 26 points, 160 shots on net, 135 hits, 116 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 64 appearances. What he lacks in offense at times, he usually makes up for with physical play, so he can be useful in fantasy in a variety of ways.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Pots goal in Monday's loss
Nurse scored a goal on six shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
Nurse has a point in each of the last two games after going 10 contests without one. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 24 points, 150 shots on net, 125 hits, 104 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-7 rating across 59 appearances. The Oilers' addition of Jake Walman could benefit Nurse in a number of ways -- they played together Saturday versus the Stars, but having Walman around strengthens the blue line as a whole to allow Nurse to have a slightly lighter workload down the stretch, which may in turn make him more productive.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Picks up helper in win
Nurse logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
The first game featuring Nurse and Jake Walman as a defensive pairing went quite well, as they were on the ice for the majority of the Oilers' goals. Nurse supplied his helper on the first of two Zach Hyman tallies in the first period. This ended a 10-game point drought for Nurse, who is now at 23 points, 144 shots on net, 123 hits, 102 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 58 appearances. Both Nurse and Walman have multi-category appeal, so they could share responsibilities rather than having one focus on defense while the other does more on offense.

Nurse (undisclised) will likely return to the lineup against Anaheim on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Nurse fully participated in Monday's practice after missing the last two games. He has accounted for four goals, 22 points, 140 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and 110 hits across 55 appearances this season. Nurse could replace John Klingberg or Troy Stecher in Tuesday's lineup.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Lacking offense
Nurse's point drought reached eight games in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
In that span, Nurse has remained physical, adding 28 hits and 18 blocked shots. Still, the 30-year-old defenseman sees a lot of minutes with the Oilers' top players, so a drought of this length is notable. Nurse is at 22 points, 140 shots on net, 110 hits, 94 blocks, 40 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 55 appearances. Even when his scoring dries up, the non-scoring production is steady enough to help some fantasy managers.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Offers helper in loss
Nurse posted an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
Nurse has three helpers over his last five outings. The defenseman set up a Leon Draisaitl tally in the first period. Overall, Nurse is up to 20 points, 110 shots on net, 75 hits, 73 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 44 appearances. While usually a very physical player, this was the third time this season Nurse was held to zero in both hits and blocked shots.

Nurse recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 1-0 win over the Kings.
Nurse ended a four-game slump with the helper. The 29-year-old defenseman has had a couple of good stretches this season, but there have been a number of slumps in his production as well.

Nurse scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Nurse's goal gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead in the second period, but they couldn't maintain it. He also helped out on Leon Draisaitl's goal late in the third, which was the game-winner. The two-point effort ended a seven-game slump for Nurse, who last got on the scoresheet with back-to-back two-assist efforts Dec. 12 and 14. The 29-year-old defenseman now has four goals, 13 helpers, 92 shots on net, 59 hits, 59 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 35 appearances this season.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Collects pair of helpers in win
Nurse notched two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
Nurse earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 14. He has four points over eight contests since he returned from an upper-body injury he suffered against the Maple Leafs on Nov. 16. Nurse won't keep pace with the elite high-scoring defensemen, but he's been solid this year with 13 points, 70 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-10 rating over 26 appearances.
