Fresh from an exhausting head-to-head matchup with phenom Connor McDavid for six junior hockey playoff games, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defenceman Darnell Nurse will be joining the revived Oklahoma City Barons in the second round of the American Hockey League playoffs.
Whether Nurse will be what the doctor ordered for Oklahoma City, who knows?
The Barons, who went through a long run of injuries and call-ups to the Edmonotn Oilers late in the regular season, knocked off the favoured San Antonio Rampage (Florida Panthers’ farm team) in three straight games with a healthier lineup in the first playoff series.
