Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse was left bloodied and had to be helped to the locker room after taking a hit to the head from Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves early in the second period of Edmonton's game against Toronto on Saturday.

Nurse was left dazed and bloodied on the ice as Reaves went to the penalty box. After officials reviewed the incident, Reaves was given a five-minute match penalty and game misconduct. The Oilers announced later in the period that Nurse would not return to the game.
