Have yourself a night, Evander Kane.
The San Jose Sharks forward was in top form Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, earning himself a hat trick in the first period alone.
It all started midway through the first with Kane launching one over James Reimer’s left glove for goal No. 1 of the evening.

Kane potted goal No. 2 with less than three minutes left in the period, but he didn’t stop there. The left wing netted No. 3 of the night with just 16.7 seconds before the first horn, and the hats started flying.
HERE HE IS. ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRI-KANE.
What a period, @evanderkane_9!

Not only is this Kane’s second career hat trick, but it’s also the first-ever hatty earned by a Sharks player in the first period of a game.
Evander Kane scored the franchise's first hat trick in the opening frame. He became the ninth Sharks player to score three goals in a single period and the first since Patrick Marleau in 2016-17 (1/23/17 at COL; 3rd per, 4 goals) #SJSharks
