We know that Evander Kane is set for a stint on the sidelines with the Oilers, but now another key veteran will reportedly miss some of training camp with an injury. The Edmonton Oilers have nothing but the Stanley Cup on their mind as training camp officially begins, but now they've suffered another injury setback, with veteran blue liner Darnell Nurse reportedly set to miss some time with an injury of his own. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/tomgazzola/status/1833973421899956299'> </a></blockquote></div> From all reports, Nurse has been on the ice during informal skates, but hasn't been able to join any team activities as of yet, but unlike Kane, he will be back before the pre-season begins and will likely be close to 100% when the regular season arrives. Despite his massive contract that brings him plenty of criticism, Nurse is a key part of this Oilers lineup, and with him expected to anchor the second pair alongside an unproven name, he's very valuable to the Oilers Stanley Cup hopes. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1802152074727064004'> </a></blockquote></div> In the Stanley Cup Playoffs a year ago, Nurse proved that he still has plenty of value to this team, and behind a talented first pairing, he's the leader of this defense, so when he's back on the ice, expect him to continue playing a crucial role for the Oilers, whose blue line has plenty of question marks and desperately needs the 29-year old Nurse to be healthy.
