Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse received a one-game suspension for his Monday cross-check to the head of Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield. The punishment was issued Tuesday by the NHL Department of Player Safety after it had a hearing with Byfield.

Nurse is eligible for a return to Edmonton's lineup for the opening game of its first-round series against Los Angeles.

Kings center Phillip Danault called out the OIlers after Darnell Nurse's illegal check against Quinton Byfield on Monday night.
