Evander Kane missed the Edmonton Oilers' practice before the playoffs, as he deals with an injury.
As the Oilers were on the ice yesterday, to prepare for their first game against the Los Angeles Kings, both Evander Kane an Mattias Janmark weren't on the ice.
"Evander Kane and Mattias Janmark are not on the ice. #Oilers"
Kane missed the Oilers' last three games of the season. A few days ago, it was revealed that he would have played those games if they were playoff games:
"Evander Kane will not play tonight. Knoblauch describes it as maintenance, similar to McDavid's situation.
If it was Game 1 of the playoffs, Kane would be in. Extra time to heal to ensure he's 100%. #Oilers"
If it was Game 1 of the playoffs, Kane would be in. Extra time to heal to ensure he's 100%. #Oilers"
Now that the playoffs are here, we'll get to know soon enough if that statement was true.
Even if he didn't take part in the practice, he could be on the ice Sunday night to face the Kings.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch should provide an update before the game. Make sure to stay tuned for further details!
