Sharks’ Evander Kane ‘humbled’ by outpouring of support

SAN JOSE — In a time of immense personal strife, Evander Kane is finding a sliver of peace in the outpouring of support he’s received from teammates, Sharks fans and the hockey community as a whole.

After Kane shared the tragic news regarding the death of his unborn daughter on Twitter Thursday afternoon, the hockey community rallied around him, flooding his social media accounts with messages of support as he prepares to rejoin the Sharks lineup for Saturday’s clash with the Nashville Predators at SAP Center.

Kane skipped the Sharks two-game road trip to Minnesota and Winnipeg this week after his daughter, Eva, passed away over the weekend during his wife’s 26th week of pregnancy.
