EDMONTON — Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft says defenceman Darnell Nurse will be a “game-time decision” when Edmonton begins its playoff run against the L.A. Kings on Monday.

Nurse, 27, has been sidelined since April 12 with a lower-body injury.

Asked whether he expected to suit up for the first playoff contest of the year, Nurse simply said “We’ll see.”
