Kane (abdomen) will be in the lineup versus Los Angeles for Monday's Game 1, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane will return to action following a three-game stint on the shelf due to a sports hernia. Despite slotting into a fourth-line role, Kane should still get opportunities with the man advantage. During the regular season, the veteran winger got back over the 20-goal threshold for the fifth time in the last six years with 24 goals and 44 points in 77 contests. He should offer decent offensive upside even in a limited role.

Kane (undisclosed) won't be available Wednesday versus Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Kane has 24 goals, 44 points, 85 PIM and 250 hits in 77 contests in 2023-24. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for Thursday's season finale against the Avalanche, but either way, he might be an option for Game 1 of the playoffs. Whenever Kane does return, he'll likely serve in a top-six capacity, which might in turn push Adam Henrique down to the third line.

Kane scored a goal, added two PIM and logged four hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Kane has three goals and two assists over his last five contests to provide a little pop on offense. The 32-year-old winger has struggled to maintain his usual level of scoring this season with 44 points over 77 outings. He's added 220 shots on net, 250 hits, 85 PIM and a minus-4 rating while playing in a middle-six role. Kane's been on the second line since Connor McDavid (lower body) exited the lineup, but Kane will likely move back to the third line in the postseason.

Kane notched two assists, three shots on goal and seven hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Kane has two goals and two helpers over his last four outings. The 32-year-old winger has seen a little more ice time over the last two games as part of the ripple effect of Connor McDavid (lower body) being out of the lineup. Kane is at 43 points, 219 shots on net, 246 hits, 83 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 76 appearances, mainly in a middle-six role.

Kane scored a pair of goals on three shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Kane endured a 21-game goal drought, picking up four assists, 64 hits and 51 shots on goal in that span. He snapped the slump with a tally late in the second period and added another midway through the third. Kane's access to top-six minutes has become limited since the Oilers traded for Adam Henrique at the trade deadline, which has likely had an impact on the former's offense. For the season, Kane has 23 goals, 41 points, 211 shots on net, 237 hits, 81 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 73 appearances.
