SAN JOSE — Evander Kane received a warm greeting at the airport after his cross-country flight from Buffalo touched down in San Jose.
“Jumbo picked me up,” Kane said Tuesday morning of Joe Thornton, who went to the airport late Monday night. “That was real nice of him, especially with the injury that he has. It’s good to see a familiar face right off the hop. A nice welcome.”
The hospitality didn’t end there for Kane, who did his part Tuesday night to lead the Sharks to a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
