This sums up Nurse in the defensive zone.. I remember this play.. someone else did too (hence screen shot) .. Walman missed tying up Monahan in front of the net.. but.. where was Nurse? .. what was going on in his head ?? I remember he covered a guy coming back into the D-zone.. but the guy he was covering peeled off to the corner (right of screen) .. out of the play.. but Nurse kept gliding backwards.. until he was behind the net.. covering .. nothing .. he took himself out of the play.. the guy is 30 yo .. a 12 year vet..

Classic Nurse play. Pretty sure he had a couple notable instances of that "skate backwards into/beyond his own net" move against the Canucks in the 2024 playoffs when he and Skinner were simultaneously melting down.
