The Edmonton Oilers, like the Dallas Stars, have themselves a game-breaker come the Stanley Cup Playoffs. While everyone is talking about Connor McDavid (who won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2024) and Leon Draisaitl, the player who is making the most impact this year for the Oilers is Evander Kane.
Kane is finally healthy after dealing with his ailments over the last couple of seasons playing for the Edmonton Oilers. Those ailments affected his play during the playoffs. While Kane has the skill, speed, and ability to score goals nightly, he brings a physical edge that the Oilers lacked. You can see when Kane is at his best; not only is he scoring, but he is also a menace on the ice.
During Game 4 of Round 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights, Evander Kane had one of his best games since his return to the lineup. He was all over the ice, collecting two points (one goal and one assist), but his impact was felt the most in front of Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill.
