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.
