Kane had missed the Oilers’ loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday as he had to be in San Jose for a court hearing on his bankruptcy case. Kane is expected to play Saturday versus the Chicago Blackhawks.
Kane was a bit of a controversial signing by the Oilers during the offseason. He had a fantastic playoff run with the Oilers last season and is one of the better power forwards in the game, but the argument was made that the Oilers would’ve been better off spending that money on an upgrade on defense. In the end, the Oilers decided to go with the additional offense as already one of the better offensive teams in the NHL, with two of the top players in the league, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
On Saturday, Edmonton will host the Blackhawks. The Oilers are +104 (-2.5) on the puck line and -430 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 6.5, over (-118), and under (-104). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
