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.
Kane is not skating on a regular line. He's on the fifth line with Sam Carrick and Sam Gagner.
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.
Doesn't sound like Evander Kane will play in game 6 for the Oilers.
