His best stretch came in 2021–22, when he notched 39 points in just 43 games (0.91 points per game) and finished with a +25 plus-minus. While injuries limited his 2022–23 season, Kane still produced 28 points in 41 games. In 2023–24, he played 77 games—his most with the Oilers—and tallied 44 points, including 24 goals. In the postseason, Kane remained a solid performer, adding 15 points in 35 playoff games with the Oilers, including four goals and four assists in their 2023–24 Stanley Cup Final run. His consistent 20+ goal pace and playoff experience now make him a valuable addition to the Canucks’ forward group.
