Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse was bloodied and had to be helped to the locker room after taking a hit to the head from Toronto forward Ryan Reaves early in the second period Saturday night in the Maple Leafs’ 4-3 overtime victory.

Knoblauch announced after Monday's practice that Nurse will be out "for around five to 10 days" after Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves checked the blueliner in the head. “Obviously there was a big scare there,” Knoblauch said, via TSN's Kenzie Lalonde. “Since then, he’s progressed really well. He’s doing as good as he can.”

Darnell Nurse was left bloodied and had to be helped to the locker room after being hit in the head early in the second period of Toronto's 4-3 overtime victory against Edmonton.
