Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has officially confirmed forward Evander Kane's fate for game 5 against the Florida Panthers
The Oilers, led by coach Kris Knoblauch, secured a decisive 8-1 win against the Florida Panthers in Game 4, earning a chance to play in Game 5. However, Evander Kane did not play in Game 4.
In a recent interview, Coach Knoblauch provided updates on Kane's status and other team matters:
Question: Does Evander Kane go with you to Game 5?
Knoblauch: Yes, Evander is going with us and there's a possibility and we'll just evaluate his health and make a decision then.
Knoblauch: Yes, Evander is going with us and there's a possibility and we'll just evaluate his health and make a decision then.
This is a positive update for the Oilers, as they might get one of their key wingers back if the series continues. Despite being down 3-1 to the Panthers, Knoblauch described the team's mood as confident and upbeat:
I think our team, obviously after a game like that they feel good about themselves. They're feeling confident. But I think even when we were down three games to zero, our team felt confident about how they can play so I think it's important during the game that say line one has a strong shift, spends a lot of time in the offensive zone, I think I believe in that momentum. It helps build lines two or three after them just able to sustain that pressure. But things change very quickly.
While the odds are against the Oilers winning the Stanley Cup this year, having a player like Connor McDavid on the team means anything is possible!
