If there’s one thing the Vegas Golden Knights usually don’t lack, it’s flair. But in Game 4 against Edmonton, they got a taste of their own medicine — and it came with some serious bite. Evander Kane didn’t just bring his usual physical edge; he brought a presence that shifted the mood of the entire series. A goal, some heavy hits, and just enough swagger to get under the skin of every Vegas player who crossed his path. In a must-win game for momentum, Kane showed Edmonton exactly how to punch back.
Evander Kane’s pregame Rolls-Royce entrance sets the tone for game 4
The tone was set long before the puck dropped. Evander Kane rolled up to the rink in a Rolls-Royce — the same way he did for Game 2 in Vegas, when he also scored. That didn’t go unnoticed.
“Evander, I saw you rolled up in Vegas in a Rolls-Royce – you scored a goal,” Pat Maroon said during TNT’s postgame coverage. “And I saw you roll up in a Rolls-Royce tonight. Is that something you thought about going into Game 4? You superstitious?”
Kane didn’t miss a beat. “I rolled up in a Ferrari for Game 3, and that didn’t work, so I said I wanted to go back to the Rolls.”
Call it superstition, call it style — whatever it is, it’s working. Kane was everywhere in Edmonton’s 3–0 win, helping the Oilers take a 3–1 stranglehold on the series. He hammered bodies along the boards, drove hard to the net, and after Adam Henrique’s second goal, crashed into Adin Hill to stir things up. That led to a scrum and more than a few Vegas players losing their cool.
Then, as if on cue, Kane buried a wrister past Hill in the second period to shut the door. That brought his total to five points in eight playoff games since coming back from injury — not bad for someone who missed the entire regular season.
“He loves the big pressure games,” said Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch . “When there’s a lot on the line, he just loves the pressure and level of play... scoring a big goal for us, crashing the net, winning puck battles, he’s contributing a lot to our team.”
He’s also generating chances at a high clip — 27 individual scoring opportunities , fourth most on the team per Natural Stat Trick. But beyond the numbers, it’s the tone he sets. Kane isn’t just playing playoff hockey — he’s playing Oilers playoff hockey, the kind that drags the rest of the team into the fight.
Vegas came into this series with flash and confidence. In Evander Kane, Edmonton found the perfect answer. He’s backing up every smirk, every hit, every pregame entrance with the kind of impact that wins playoff series. If the Oilers keep rolling, it won’t just be McDavid or Draisaitl getting credit — it’ll be Kane, too, for showing everyone how to bring the heat when the spotlight is brightest.
