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.
