Life changing announcement for Evander Kane
He may be on the sideline at the start of the season, but he’s still dealing with a lot.
It just felt like the Edmonton Oilers were missing the physicality of Evander Kane up front when they sustained a 6-0 blowout loss at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night for their home opener. However, while he remains sidelined in recovery from surgeries due to two hernias and two torn abdominal muscles, Kane has been keeping busy and a life-changing announcement was made to him late on Thursday.
On her personal Instagram account, Kane’s partner Mara Teigen announced that the couple will be having a girl soon. Her pregnancy was announced as the little family made their gender reveal public on her page.
Upon making the post, Kane was first to comment, saying: “another princess. Boy am I in trouble, me and the boys have two generals to listen to now 😂”
The couple got engaged back in early September. Kane has two sons with Mara, and a daughter Kensington with his former wife Anna Kane, with whom he is still dealing with a nasty custody battle.
In Edmonton, Kane has two more years on his contract at a $5.125 million average annual value, and is set to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2025-26 campaign. He spent the last three seasons with the Oilers, signing in the middle of the 2021-22 season, after a controversial departure from the San Jose Sharks.
Since he was selected fourth overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2009, Kane has 326 goals and 617 points in 930 regular-season games with the Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, Sharks and Oilers, and 43 points in 76 playoff games.
And now he has another kid on his own personal roster.
