Oilers D Nurse to hearing: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/darnell-nurse-to-have-hearing-for-cross-check-on-quinton-byfield-1.2289189

Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse will have a hearing with the league's department of player safety on Tuesday night for cross-checking Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield.

Nurse received a five-minute major penalty for cross-checking and a game misconduct in Monday's 5-0 loss to the Kings after driving his stick down onto the head of Byfield after the two fell to the ice while battling in front of the Oilers net.

The incident happened at the 14:36 mark of the second period and Byfield did not return take another shift afterwards, being ruled out with what the Kings called an upper-body injury.

A suspension of more than one game would force Nurse to miss time in the playoffs, when the Oilers will face the Kings for the fourth straight year.

Could be costly for the Oilers who already without Ekholm for the first round.

It was stupid and very cheap dirty play by Nurse. I can't believe he only received one game, should have been three.
