VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- As Evander Kane returns to his hometown, he has a chance to go where he has never gone before.
The Stanley Cup playoffs.
Kane's cause could be boosted when the San Jose Sharks (39-23-9) visit the woeful Vancouver Canucks (25-37-9) at Rogers Arena.
"I had played on winning teams all my life," Kane, a 26-year-old Vancouver native, told Postmedia. "It's been really frustrating so far in the NHL."
He moved closer to easing his frustration on Friday night -- by scoring four goals in San Jose's 7-4 triumph over the Flames in Calgary.
