Darnell Nurse returned to the ice for the Edmonton Oilers' morning skate after suffering a head injury from a hit by Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nurse discussed the incident, emphasizing the need for players to be aware on the ice while also holding Reaves accountable for the dangerous hit.

Reaves has been suspended for five games following the incident, and although he apologized to Nurse during the game, Nurse expressed that the apology did not change his feelings about the situation. Nurse has been performing well this season, with two goals and seven assists in 18 games.
