Evander Kane likely to be absent from Edmonton Oilers' lineup tonight
Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane is anticipated to miss Game Three against the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.
The Oilers haven't had the start they hoped for in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, losing both games on the road in Sunrise. Now, with the series on the line, top forward Evander Kane is anticipated to be absent from the lineup tonight, while Corey Perry is set to return.
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 was observed at yesterday's practice having a conversation with Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch.

Darnell Nurse not on the ice. Evander Kane has recorded eight points in 20 games this playoff run, an underwhelming stat line. However, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have the capability to carry the team.
