The Edmonton Oilers will once again be without Evander Kane in the Stanley Cup Final.

Kane will miss his fourth straight game against the Florida Panthers due to a sports hernia on Friday.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters Friday morning that the forward would be a game-time decision.

The 32-year-old forward has four goals and eight assists in 20 Stanley Cup Playoff games. In 77 regular-season games, Kane finished with 24 goals and 20 assists.

With Kane still out, the Oilers will go with the exact same lineup they won both Games 4 and 5 with.

Florida is making one change, inserting Nick Cousins for veteran forward Kyle Okposo.

You can watch the Oilers try and send the Stanley Cup Final to a Game 7 live on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ starting at 8 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. MT.
