Darnell Nurse Scores First Goal Of The Season On Tuesday
6 years agoEdmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse scored the game-winning goal in overtime in order to earn a full two points for his team against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. The 23-year-old is off to fine start to the 2018-2019 season having now registered three points (one goal, two assists), 14 shots and seven hits in his first four games. Nurse, considered a late-round sleeper in most fantasy drafts, is skating a career-high 24:31 per game and playing on the Oilers' top defensive pair early on. The Ontario native provides excellent peripheral category coverage and could shatter his career-high of 29 points (established in 2017-2018) this season. He'll look to carry momentum into a home game against the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
