Evander Kane and Darnell Nurse reportedly absent from Oilers practice
Two key Edmonton Oilers players Evander Kane and Darnell Nurse were absent at the team's morning skate today as they prepare for game 3 versus the Florida Panthers.
It hasn't been the start the Oilers were hoping for in the Stanley Cup Playoffs versus the Florida Panthers after dropping both games away in Sunrise. Now, with the fate of the series in their hands, two crucial pieces to the Oilers team have their status unknown after they were not seen at the morning skate.
Evander Kane and Darnell Nurse did not skate this morning.
Kane was out early but left after a conversation with Kris Knoblauch
However, some fans may argue that Nurse's absence is good news as he hasn't exactly been up to par with his performances after he has a minus 15 statline.

Darnell Nurse not on the ice.
The availability for Evander Kane and Darnell Nurse is still unknown with game three only taking place Thursday night.
