Nurse hasn’t played since suffering a broken finger against the Winnipeg Jets in overtime on Nov. 18. He leads the Oilers with 26:06 time on ice per game this season. The Oilers went 4-2-0 in the six games he missed.
In 16 games this season, the rearguard has 11 assists and is averaging the fifth-most ice-time in the NHL. Nurse had played in 326 consecutive games and missed his first game since February 2017.
