Even though the Jets won't be in the playoffs, Evander Kane is very happy with his progress this season.

The 21-year-old had 17 goals and 33 points this year, but it's not the score sheet production he's only proud of. "I think I've become more a leader in the room and on the ice each year I've been here," said Kane. "Next season is my fifth season. I'm still a young guy but not the typical young guy anymore. I've been around and I'm comfortable with the league now and I feel comfortable with the guys in here and that's definitely something I want to become, more of a leader on this team and get this team into the playoffs a lot sooner than later."

Evander Kane did not participate in Saturday's warmup and admitted that he isn't playing at full health after Monday's win over Buffalo.

He was asked if he's at 100 percent and he responded, "I don't think anybody is this time of year. You've got to play through some injuries and some pain and this is the time where you've got to step up and play for your teammates."

Evander Kane has been whistled for 23 minor penalties this year, which currently has him tied for the second-most in the NHL.

Kane doesn't feel like the officials are picking on him though and he often communicates openly with them on the ice. "It's part of the game," Kane said. "A couple of referees, they reffed in the WHL when I was playing. I know them. So somebody thinks I'm yelling at them but we're just talking. It's pretty friendly most of the time but I'm an emotional guy. I've been yelling at the referees since I was five years old playing hockey. It's probably not going to stop. They know that. It's nothing personal. I think they know the type of player I am. And sometimes they yell back at you." With 16 goals, 31 points, 130 hits, 176 shots and 76 penalty minutes in 43 games, Kane has provided fantasy owners with plenty of bang for their buck during the lockout-shortened season.

Evander Kane suffered through a terrible outing in the Jets 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Evander Kane has cooled off considerably since his February hot streak.

He has potted three goals and no assists in his past 14 matches. Kane has still been racking up shots and chipping in penalty minutes over that span, but he isn't cashing like he was earlier. Part of the blame is being placed on his new linemates, Olli Jokinen and Antti Miettinen, for not creating much in the way of opportunities for him. However, with his strength and speed he should be able to generate chances of his own as well.
Mar 26 - 8:20 AM

Evander Kane is taking the glass-half-full approach despite two straight bad losses to the Capitals.

"This is just a speed bump," Kane said. "Some adversity for us. Come playoffs, if you get down 2-0 in a series you have to find a way to battle back. So this could be helpful for us. "We have 17 some games left in the season and we need to continue to collect points. We feel we are a playoff team and we're not going to settle for anything less. Our division race is tight every night, we know what we need to do and we've proven we can go 10-2-3 over a 15-game span and that's pretty much what's left so that's our goal and we won't settle for not making the playoffs."
Mar 23 - 11:31 AM

Evander Kane scored a goal for Winnipeg, but the team dropped a 3-2 shootout decision to the Devils Sunday.

Mar 10 - 10:01 PM

Evander Kane's eight-game point streak came to an end late last week.

He registered 10 shots and two penalty minutes in games against New Jersey (Thursday) and Washington (Saturday), but couldn't get a point to stretch his scoring spree. Kane's surge places him behind only captain Andrew Ladd for the team-scoring lead with 18 points in 21 games.
Mar 4 - 9:24 AM

Winnipeg coach Claude Noel praised the play of Evander Kane following Tuesday night's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

"He's in a pretty good place now. He pushes that threshold of continuing to succeed," said Noel of Kane's recent eight-game point streak. "He's got a streak going and it drives him. You can see his minutes are up, he's skating well... you watch, the more he gets into the game the more he skates the more he seems to be dangerous. It might be the best I've seen him play. I mean, he's shooting the puck so well. You've got to shoot when you've got bullets like he has." Kane leads the Jets in scoring now with 18 points in 19 games.

Kane finished the contest with seven shots on goal as well for a fantastic night. Olli Jokinen also scored twice in the match, but this year hasn't been memorable so far for him as a Jet.
