In the case of Evander Kane, this is less of a concern. He has missed several practices in recent weeks after a hit on June 2nd but has continued to play without missing a game.
As for Darnell Nurse, he has struggled heavily in the playoffs over the last couple of weeks. To this point, injury has not been suspected to be the cause however missing practice adds a new wrinkle of context.
Hey look, I am at the Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers are on the ice for practice but Darnell Nurse is not skating. More soon.
