Nurse (upper body) wasn't on the ice for warmups, indicating he'll miss Thursday's game versus the Predators, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Nurse will have to miss at least one game after getting hurt in a fight Tuesday versus the Bruins. Nolan Allan is expected to take Nurse's place in the lineup. The Sharks' road trip continues Saturday in Detroit, and Nurse will likely be a game-time decision leading up to that game.
