This is probably the setup for most of the series against the Kings. The Oilers function so much better as an 11F/7D squad as it really lessens the load on their average-at-best blueline corps.
Honestly, even if Nurse is okay-ish to go for Game 1, I wouldn't rush him in to the fold. I Probably wouldn't ice him until they've lost one or two: he'll be leaned on heavily in any subsequent series so getting him as much rest as possible now is crucial. Oilers in 5 so when that happens, mileage may vary,
