Kane played a physical game one on Saturday, going after both
Matthew Tkachuk and
Sam Bennett, two of the Panthers' toughest players in the playoffs:
However, he's also been dealing with a sports hernia since before the start of the playoffs, which could also explain why he wasn't on the ice today.
Kris Knoblauch should share more details in his press conference. If he does not, we'll have to wait until tonight before knowing Kane's status.
