Hockey Hall of Famer and Edmonton Oilers assistant coach Paul Coffey recently came to the defense of defenseman Darnell Nurse, who's been under scrutiny for his up-and-down play.

Again, they need to go big, bigger, biggest, and most bigly. The Panthers have played with more focus, confidence and determination. The Oilers have been thrown off by misplays of the puck, failing to cover off over the slot, and by numerous bad and missed calls by the refs.

Darnell Nurse urges the Oilers to stay disciplined after costly penalties fuel a Game 3 blowout loss to the Panthers.
