EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have signed Darnell Nurse to a two-year contract, ending a lengthy stalemate with one of their top defencemen on Monday.
The agreement with the restricted free agent is worth US$3.2 million per season.

Nurse had said he wouldn’t participate in training camp without a new contract.
