Edmonton Oilers get awful news minutes before Game 3
Power forward Evander Kane of the Edmonton Oilers has been sidelined for some time now, and the discomfort is now getting to be too much. Game 3 will not feature Kane.
Sam Carrick and Evander Kane are leaving the starting lineup. Derek Ryan and Corey Perry, two seasoned forwards, will take their places.
Kane got seven points through the first eleven games, but his effectiveness has significantly decreased as his injuries have mounted. In his last nine games, the power forward has only one point.
Mark Spector, a Sportsnet journalist, disclosed that he has been informed by one source that Kane hardly ever rested during Game 1. Sitting doesn't work for him, whatever the injury.
