Admittedly, I wasn’t too high on Nurse earlier in the year, but it’s pretty clear how much he means to that room and he’s having a heck of a season. If he can just get his consistency issues (on all parts of his game) figured out then we’ve got ourselves an alright looking d corps.


I wanted to wait until Klef came back to say much about this to get a full sample size but I have been watching Nurse and his stats/gameplay very close. I believe he has improved a lot and is well on his way to being a REAL first pairing guy.

Of all the guys we have thrust into a role they dont fit in/arent ready for you could argue he has performed the best.

In total he had 21 GP, 2G, 13A for 15 points. That works out to .71 PPG. If that was consistent for the full season it would put him tied for 12th in the league of guys who have played 40+ games.

In his first real PP trial 6 of those were power play points.

He averaged 26:54 in ice time during that stretch. That him 2 seconds behind Doughty for most in the league.

While his timing could be better he is one of the only players on the team to be a real physical threat

+/- of -1 over that stretch.
The teams goal differential was -17 (I didnt bother looking up special teams to compare his +/-)

His 15 points mean he was in on 23.8% of all Oiler goals

I know there is more to a player than stats, advanced or basic, but this snapshot tells me he performed admirably in his #1 d-man role.
On the note of #1, he is averaging a full 2 mins more than Larsson for the season. 24-22.
