The defenseman was bloodied on the play and was tended to by a trainer for several minutes before he left the game. The Oilers announced that Nurse wouldn't return because of an upper-body injury.

Nurse was skating with the puck behind Edmonton’s net early in the second period of Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto when Reaves clipped Nurse with his shoulder. The Oilers defenceman was bloodied and had to be helped to the locker room while Reaves received a match penalty.
