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.
Impact 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 found his offense with 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. Barring a colossal slump, he should be able to get over the 30-point mark by season's end.

Provides pair of assists Nurse logged two assists, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Won't play against Florida Nurse has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Panthers for an undisclosed reason, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

Lacking offense Nurse's point drought reached eight games in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
Impact 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.
