Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Ends up on IR

Nurse is dealing with a lower-body injury that's expected to keep him shelved long term. According to the NHL media site, he's been placed on IR.

Analysis:

It's not clear when Nurse sustained the injury. The mobile rearguard skated for 18:52 in Tuesday's game against the Jets, showing effectiveness on both ends of the ice with a plus-2 rating. At any rate, the Oilers have recalled Dillon Simpson from AHL Bakersfield as a reinforcement on the back line.
