Evander Kane entered the San Jose Sharks’ Friday night tilt with the Calgary Flames with 564 career regular season games under his belt and 178 career goals. Although the 26-year-old has scored 20 or more goals four times over his career and has hit the 30-mark plateau once, one thing Kane never accomplished at the NHL level was a hat trick. However, that all changed on Friday.



Not only did Kane score his first career hat trick in the Sharks’ 7-4 victory, he recorded a four-goal game to become just the fourth player in Sharks history to score four times in a single game.



WHAT A NIGHT: @evanderkane_9 has just scored his 4th goal of the night. That ties an all-time #SJSharks record for most goals in a game (4th time ever, MR-Patrick Marleau at COL 1/23/17). #Amazing. pic.twitter.com/fODF6xX9DG — Dan Rusanowsky (@DanRusanowsky) March 17, 2018

Following his team’s big win Kane posted an awesome photo of himself holding the four goal pucks while standing in between Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski and he was pretty excited about his recent feat.



Took me 9 years in the @NHL but was worth the wait. Happy I was able to get my first 🎩 trick with this group of guys! @SanJoseSharks Huge win! pic.twitter.com/sqW6UtwAvL — Evander Kane (@evanderkane_9) March 17, 2018

Kane wasn’t the only person excited about his big night, as it appeared that Burns was just as excited as Kane was.



The Vancouver, BC native entered Friday’s game with one goal in seven games with the Sharks, but his four-goal performance now gives him five goals and five assists for 10 points in eight games with San Jose.
