The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for a massive Game 6 against the Florida Panthers. A win will tie the series at 3-3, while a loss would officially crush their Stanley Cup hopes. Thus, this is a must-watch game for all hockey fans.
Former Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane has missed a decent chunk of the series, as he was out for Games 3 through 5 for the Oilers. Yet, now there's a chance that Kane could be returning to the lineup.

Getting Kane back in the lineup would be a big boost for the Oilers. The 32-year-old winger is a key part of their group, and they could use his experience and grit in a must-win Game 6.
