SAN JOSE — Evander Kane is already proving that he meshes well with the Sharks’ brand of hockey.
He plays a fast, physical, straight-lined game, a style that has allowed him to rack up five points in four games since he arrived from Buffalo at the trade deadline Feb. 26.
After tumultuous runs in Winnipeg and Buffalo, the Bay Area might just be the perfect fit for Kane off the ice, as well.
The Sharks acquired Kane at a bargain-basement price — two conditional-draft picks and a prospect — because of the “problem child” label that got slapped on him during his first eight seasons in the league.
