Evander Kane's sudden drop in offense this postseason might have been the result of injuries.
On Sunday, the San Jose Sharks forward told The Athletic's Kevin Kurz he'd been playing with a separated shoulder, and had previously dealt with an MCL injury.
After recording three goals and an assist in the Sharks' opening-round series against the Anaheim Ducks, Kane scored just one goal in six games against the Vegas Golden Knights, going pointless in the final three contests as San Jose was eliminated.
The 26-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and is sure to be a hot commodity after a 54-point regular season.
