Evander Kane has four-goal night to lead Sharks to 7-4 win over Flames
CALGARY — It took Evander Kane until his 565th game to record his first career NHL hat trick.
He then added another goal for good measure to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 7-4 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday.
“It’s nice to get that monkey off my back,” said Kane, who the Sharks acquired from the Buffalo Sabres on Feb. 26 for forward Daniel O’Regan and conditional first- and fourth-round picks in the 2019 NHL Draft. “It’s been a long time since I’ve scored a hat trick. That was great. It made it even better, obviously, in a big game, an important game.”
Forward Joe Pavelski, who set up Kane’s fourth goal 62 seconds into the third period, was happy to see his new teammate come through in the clutch.
