Now that he’s recovered from the concussion that cost him the first 18 games of the season, he’s showing the kind of dynamic player he is.
Never were his skills more evident than Wednesday, when his first career NHL hat trick led the Ducks to a 6-3 come-from-behind victory over the Dallas Stars at Honda Center.
The 23-year-old Czech Republic native has eight goals and 14 points in 15 games. He’s starred in most of his outings this season, months after he capped a 20-goal campaign.
And for a team that still ranks 30th in the league in goals per game, Kase is proving to be the rare Ducks forward who threatens to score each time he’s on the ice.
