The Blue Jackets have recalled forward Liam Foudy from the OHL's London Knights on an emergency basis, and he's set to make his NHL debut on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Knights announced Sunday.

NHL teams are permitted to recall players from junior during the season under certain extenuating circumstances. Recalling Foudy is allowed after a mutual decision the Blue Jackets and Knights made, according to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.

Under the rules, Foudy can't stay in the NHL for more than five games or be in the league past March 1, Portzline adds.

The Blue Jackets selected the 20-year-old 18th overall in 2018. He's the Knights' co-captain this season and has recorded 20 goals and 43 points in 32 games.

The Edmonton Oilers are finalizing a two-year contract extension with defenseman Darnell Nurse worth slightly more than $5.5 million annually, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

The Oilers drafted the 25-year-old seventh overall in 2013. He's been a key defender for the team, averaging 21:35 minutes of ice time per game over his career. Nurse has appeared in 334 contests with Edmonton, racking up 28 goals and 112 points.

He's averaging 22:46 minutes this season and has recorded four goals and 24 points in 55 games.

Nurse, who's a pending restricted free agent, is now set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the extension, McKenzie adds.
