Latest news
Nurse (upper body) is slated to play against Detroit on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Nurse has a goal, nine PIM, eight hits and 12 blocks in six appearances with the Sharks this season. He's returning to the lineup after missing Thursday's game against Nashville due to the injury. Luca Cagnoni is projected to be a healthy scratch due to Nurse's return.

Nurse (upper body) wasn't on the ice for warmups, indicating he'll miss Thursday's game versus the Predators, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Nurse will have to miss at least one game after getting hurt in a fight Tuesday versus the Bruins. Nolan Allan is expected to take Nurse's place in the lineup. The Sharks' road trip continues Saturday in Detroit, and Nurse will likely be a game-time decision leading up to that matchup.

Nurse (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision against Nashville on Thursday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Nurse didn't finish Tuesday's game against Boston after participating in a fight versus Nikita Zadorov. The 31-year-old defenseman did take part in Thursday's morning skate, which is encouraging, but he also stayed on with the extras. If Nurse is unable to play in San Jose's tilt against the Predators, then Nolan Allan will likely draw back into the lineup.

Nurse was unable to finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins after getting injured in a fight, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Nurse's third-period fight left him a bit worse for wear. He went down hard during the bout and may have hit his head in the process, but the Sharks didn't have any details available. Nurse's status for the start of the team's six-game road trip is undetermined, and it remains to be seen if he'll join the team when the trip begins in Nashville on Thursday. If Nurse is out, expect Nolan Allan to check back into the lineup.

Nurse scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Nurse tallied just over a minute into overtime to give the Sharks their third win of the year. All of those victories have come past regulation time. The goal was Nurse's first point for the Sharks, and he's added five shots on net, six hits, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating. At his best, he's a multi-category contributor in fantasy, but he could be limited on offense since he's not receiving power-play time early in the campaign.

Nurse was acquired by San Jose from Edmonton on Wednesday in exchange for Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp.
Edmonton wanted to get out from under Nurse's $9.25 million cap hit through 2029-30, but that doesn't mean the 31-year-old lacks value. Far from it, Nurse is a good top-four defenseman who plays a physical game while also chipping in offensively. He had seven goals, 24 points, 104 PIM, 137 hits and 167 blocks in 82 regular-season appearances with Edmonton in 2025-26. Nurse should get big minutes and provide veteran leadership to a young Sharks club that is on the rise.
