Kris Knoblauch reveals Evander Kane's status for game 6 against the Panthers

Today, the Edmonton Oilers practiced ahead of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and all indications suggest that Evander Kane will miss the game against the Florida Panthers.

Kane has been dealing with a reported back injury for several weeks and missed Game 5. He returned to practice today but was skating with Sam Carrick and Sam Gagner, who are expected to be scratches for Game 6.

This has led to speculation that Kane will miss his second straight game in the Stanley Cup Finals. Unless the Oilers decide to go with an extra forward, Kane, Carrick, and Gagner are likely to be in the press box.
