Evander Kane Not Traveling with Team to Calgary for Personal Reasons
After netting five goals in four games, Evander Kane will not travel with the Oilers to Calgary for Game 5. His girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy some time today, per Ryan Rishaug of TSM Edmonton.
Evander Kane's family situation has been in the news quite a bit in the past year and not typically in a positive light. But this is certainly good news, so congratulations to the two of them.
Though he's not traveling with the rest of the team, he still hasn't officially been ruled out. It's only a 2-3 hour drive, so his status for Game 5 probably isn't in danger. The Oilers can close out the Flames with a win Thursday night, while the Flames seek to stave off elimination by doing the same.
