Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane is expected to be out of the lineup tonight versus the Florida Panthers for game 3 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

The Oilers haven't had the start they hoped for in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, losing both games in Sunrise. Now, with the series on the line, top forward Evander Kane is expected to be out of the lineup tonight, with Corey Perry stepping in.

Ceci off ice very quickly which seems tip off he is playing. Could go 11-7 with Nurse inj situation and Carrick stayed on late which could mean he is scratch. Likely Kane out and Perry in

Kane has eight points in 20 games this playoff run, an underwhelming stat line. However, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have the talent to carry the workload.
