Although he was not scoring, he continued to be a physical on-ice presence with 237 hits this season. Overall, Kane has scored 23 goals and totaled 41 points this season. He’s also been a physical presence on the ice, which his 81 penalty minutes attest to.
Although Evander Kane has been struggling recently, he ended his 21-game goal drought in style by scoring two goals on three shots. He also finished with a plus-3 rating in the Edmonton Oilers’ 6-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche. He’s excited, not only to be back in the playoffs, but because he’s contributing on the scoreboard again.
Kane had endured a challenging stretch with only four assists during his 21-game goalless streak. His first goal came late in the second period, followed by another midway through the third. Part of Kane’s issue is that his ice time has been impacted negatively by the addition of Adam Henrique at the trade deadline.
