Oilers make surprising lineup change ahead of must-win game 3

Calm and steadfast, Kris Knoblauch steers Edmonton out of an awful start to  the Stanley Cup Final - Yahoo Sport

Forward Evander Kane of the Edmonton Oilers is expected to miss game three against the Florida Panthers. While the Oilers hit the panic button with lineup moves after each game, the Panthers are sitting back without making a single adjustment- but trusting their lineup.

With Evander Kane coming out, it appears that Corey Perry will take his lineup spot, who’s also been in and out of the lineup like musical chairs.

Ceci off ice very quickly which seems tip off he is playing. Could go 11-7 with Nurse inj situation and Carrick stayed on late which could mean he is scratch. Likely Kane out and Perry in

Darnell Nurse not on the ice.

The Oilers are in do-or-die mode, and tonight will be an exciting matchup as this could determine the Panthers odds at going 3-0, being one win away from winning the Stanley Cup.
