Edmonton Oilers left wing Evander Kane has an adorable family with his longtime girlfriend Mara Teigen. On the occasion of Father’s Day, Mara shared a series of heartwarming pictures on her Instagram story featuring Kane with his children.

The couple has two children together—Iverson Frank Kane, born in May 2022, and Hendrix Frank Kane, born in June 2023. Kane also has a daughter, Kensington Ava Kane from his previous marriage with Anna Kane.

The NHLer’s partner shared some sweet moments of Kane with his three children and of the five of them as one family. She praised him saying that his fatherly instincts and love for his children are beyond words.

“Happy Fathers Day Words can’t even begin to describe this man and his natural loving father instincts,” Mara Teigen wrote on her Instagram story.

The photos included special moments of Kane with their two sons, Iverson and Hendrix. She also posted clips of Kane playing with Iverson and his daughter Kensington at home. A particularly sweet picture showed Kensington wearing Kane’s number 91 jersey with "Daddy’s Girl" on the back.

There was one picture of the entire family of five, likely from a game day, where all three kids were wearing Oilers shirts. A couple of pictures featured Kane helping his children with their studies. Teigen also included a lovely picture of just her and Kane together, captioned:

"Big fan of this guy."

Evander Kane’s ex-wife texted Matthew Tkachuk before Game 4

Prior to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final series between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers, Evander Kane’s ex-wife, Anna Kane, sent a suggestive message to Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk. She posted a screenshot of her Instagram message on her IG Story, telling Tkachuk:

“If you really want to make him mad let me know,” Anna wrote.

The message was seemingly intended to provoke her ex-husband. Evander and Anna were married in 2018 but eventually split in 2021.

She previously accused him of abuse and betting violations, but the court ruled in his favor. Evander even secured a restraining order against Anna, preventing her from attending his NHL games.

Meanwhile, the Oilers left wing is still questionable for Game 5 in Florida. Speaking to the media on Sunday, Edmonton HC Kris Knoblauch mentioned that Kane will travel with the team but they will assess his condition before deciding if he can play in the upcoming game.

"Evander's going with us [to Florida] and there's a possibility [he will play in Game 5]. We'll just evaluate his health and make a decision then," Knoblauch said. (H/T Oil on Whyte)

It remains to be seen if Evander Kane will earn some ice time as the Oilers take on the Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena at Sunrise, Florida, on Tuesday.
