SAN JOSE – Evander Kane’s worst stretch of the season was followed by an excellent one. The talented forward recorded six points in the first three games of this Sharks homestand, with three goals and three assists, including on Logan Couture’s decisive overtime score against New Jersey.
It should come as no shock the Sharks won each time. Kane’s points streak ended during Thursday’s 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild at SAP Center, but he still generated opportunities that didn’t find net. That included a late third-period laser beam that would’ve tied it without a glove save.
Kane’s recent quality could constitute an about face.
