Oilers place Darnell Nurse on IR, add Mike Smith to long-term IR

The Edmonton Oilers have placed defencemen Darnell Nurse and Slater Koekkoek on injured reserve, and added netminder Mike Smith to long-term injured reserve, the team announced Friday.

In a corresponding move, the club has called up defencemen Philip Broberg and William Lagesson from AHL affiliate Bakersfield Condors.

Nurse is expected to miss two to three weeks with a broken finger he suffered versus the Winnipeg Jets in overtime on Thursday, according to head coach Dave Tippett. He led the Oilers with 31:21 time on ice in the shootout win.

In 16 games this season, the rearguard has 11 assists and is averaging the fifth-most ice-time in the NHL. Nurse has played in 326 consecutive games and is set to miss his first contest since February 2017.

Koekkoek left Thursday’s game against the Jets after a collision with forward Evgeny Svechnikov sent him into the boards. Head coach Dave Tippett says he will miss three to four weeks with a lower-body injury. He has one assist through 11 games in his second season with the Oilers.

Smith, 39, was 2-0 in three appearances this season, posting a .920 save percentage and a 3.08 goals-against average before being placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury on Oct. 21. He is “week-to-week at best,” according to Tippett.

Broberg, the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, has 10 assists in 13 games with the Condors this season. The Swede has yet to play his first NHL game.

Lagesson has played 27 games with the Oilers over the previous two seasons and could make his season debut in the NHL. He currently has two points through 11 games in the AHL.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

Duterte allows more pork imports

President Rodrigo Duterte has allowed additional pork imports to boost the supply and stabilize meat prices, a Palace official said on Thursday. President Rodrigo Duterte. Contributed photo According to Cabinet Secretary Karlo Alexei Nograles, the President approved during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday the recommendation of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to increase the Minimum Access Volume (MAV) of pork imports for this year. He said the present MAV was 54,210 metric tons, but the DA projected that the annual demand for pork supply will reach 1,618,355 mt. “The DA has recommended that the MAV must be expanded just enough to cover the projected shortfall for the year,” Nograles said during a virtual press briefing. The MAV sets the limit on agricultural imports that have a customs duty lower than the out-quota customs tariff. Nograles said Duterte approved this proposal, along with the creation of a sub-task group on economic intelligence “to go after smugglers, profiteer...

In anticipated season debut, Kyrie Irving scores 22 as Nets beat Pacers

NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving was just the jolt the Brooklyn Nets needed to escape a midseason slump. He can only provide it on a part-time basis, as his refusal to get vaccinated against the coronavirus means he can’t play in New York. So for now, Irving will enjoy every chance he gets on the road _ while still holding out hope he’ll be able to put on a show for his own fans. “I know what the consequences were, I still know what they are,” Irving said Wednesday night. “But right now, I’m just going to take it one day at a time, like I said, and just enjoy this time that I get to play with my guys. “However it looks later in the season, then we’ll address it then.” Irving scored 22 points in his first game of the season, helping the Nets rally for a 129-121 road victory over the Indiana Pacers. After being held out of the team’s first 35 games because he refused to get vaccinated, Irving started and played 32 minutes in his highly anticipated season debut. “The game of basketball i...
