Evander Kane's availability for Game 7 against the Florida Panthers remains uncertain after missing the last four games due to an abdominal injury. Despite being a game-time decision for Game 6, Kane did not play, and his performance earlier in the series was lackluster with a minus-4 rating. Head coach Kris Knoblauch has not confirmed if Kane will be in the lineup for Game 7. The Oilers, who have forced a Game 7 after being down 3-0, may reconsider adjusting their winning lineup to include Kane. Kane admitted to dealing with a sports hernia for most of the season, contributing to his inconsistent performance. The Oilers aim to become the 10th team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-0.
