Oilers' Nurse suspended one game

Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse was suspended one game following a hearing with the NHL on Wednesday for the head butt he delivered to Los Angeles Kings forward Phillip Danault in Game 5 of their playoff series.

The incident occurred with five seconds remaining in the second period of Tuesday night's game, eventually won by the Kings, 5-4 in overtime. With the victory, the Kings took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven, firstround series.

Nurse appeared to ram his helmet into the face of Danault, setting off a scrum.

No penalties were called on the play.

Nurse, who logged 26 minutes Tuesday night, will miss Thursday night's Game 6 in Los Angeles.
