Darnell Nurse injury: A blow to the Oilers' defense

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse was injured in a collision with Toronto Maple Leafs forward Wayne Simmonds during Tuesday night's game. Nurse was attempting to make a hit on Simmonds in the corner when he was hit from behind by the Leafs forward. Nurse was down on the ice for several minutes before being helped off by the Oilers training staff.

The Oilers announced after the game that Nurse had suffered a concussion and would be out indefinitely. Nurse's injury is a big blow to the Oilers, who are already without defenseman Oscar Klefbom, who is on long-term injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

Nurse is one of the Oilers' top defensemen and his absence will be felt on the ice. Nurse is a physical presence who can play big minutes and is also a good puck-mover. The Oilers will need someone to step up and fill Nurse's void in the lineup, but it will be a difficult task.

The Oilers are hoping that Nurse's injury is not too serious and that he will be able to return to the lineup soon. However, the Oilers are going to have to find a way to replace Nurse's production in the meantime.
