• Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Slides assist in win

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  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: Pockets helper in overtime win

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Nurse notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers. Nurse has generated plenty of non-scoring production with nine shots on net, six hits and nine blocked shots over the first four games of the season. His helper Tuesday was his first point. The 29-year-old blueliner has maintained a second-pairing role and some time on the second power-play unit, but he will need significantly more consistency on offense to help fantasy managers in standard formats.
