Some excellent news out of the Edmonton Oilers camp today, an indication from head coach Kris Knoblauch that power forward Evander Kane will be good to go in the playoffs against Florida.
As Oilers broadcaster Jack Michaels has reported of Knoblauch: “Also expects Evander Kane to practice Friday and play in Saturday’s opener. Kane vital in rendering Tkachuk ineffective in ‘22 Battle of Alberta.”
And Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reported: “Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said he expects winger Evander Kane to be ready to start the Stanley Cup Final. Kane played just 4:39 in Game 6 vs. DAL because of an injury. He’s been playing through a sports hernia.”
