Evander Kane was removed from today's practice following a discussion with head coach Kris Knoblauch as the Oilers gear up to face the Panthers in game three.
The Oilers are facing immense pressure, with the Panthers poised to secure a significant advantage if they win the next game.
During today's practice session, concerns were raised as two players were absent. Darnell Nurse was notably missing from the ice, and Evander Kane departed after his conversation with Kris Knoblauch, as reported by multiple sources.

Kane was out early but left after a conversation with Kris Knoblauch"
"Kris Knoblauch having an extended conversation with Evander Kane as the Oilers get set to begin practice. It lasted almost 5 minutes. Kane left the ice right after the chat."
