NEW YORK – Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse has been fined for interference during Edmonton’s 5-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday.

The NHL’s department of player safety handed Nurse a US$5,000 penalty for the play, which saw the veteran blue liner lay a late hit on Vancouver’s Kyle Burroughs in the final minute of the first period.

Burroughs went down hard in the corner but got up without any assistance.
