  • Available for Monday
    Kane (abdomen) is available for Game 7 on Monday against Florida, but head coach Kris Knoblauch did not clarify whether or not he'd be in the lineup, per TSN.

    Advice: Kane hasn't played since Game 2, and the Oilers have forced a Game 7 after being down 3-0 in the series. At the moment, it's unclear if the Oilers will want to adjust the lineup to fit Kane back in after they've caught fire. He produced a minus-4 rating in two games against the Panthers and has eight points with a minus-7 rating this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:15 pm

    Barkov scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.
