Evander Kane met LA Lakers owner Jeanie Buss just days before the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs against LA Kings



The IG story of 33-year-old Evander Kane looks like it was clicked in the LA Lakers lounge opposite the bartender’s counter. 63-year-old Jeanie Buss, owner of the NBA’s LA Lakers team, looked gorgeous in a white striped full shirt and sky blue jeans. She left her blonde hair open and wore the LA Lakers’ ID card. Jeanie Buss carried a sling bag of bamboo color that was hidden behind Evander Kane.

Evander Kane, on the other hand, wore a matt-finished black round-neck, half-sleeved t-shirt to match off-white or beige-colored trousers. Kane’s forearm tattoo was visible, and he carried his goggles over his round-necked t-shirt. In no way Jeanie looked 63 standing next to Evander Kane, who’s 33! The 40-year age difference was just not visible on the IG story! Let us know if you think otherwise.

Evander Kane is close to being cleared, says Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch

Evander Kane is close to being cleared, per Knoblauch. Kane wasn’t on the ice today for an optional state.

Trent Frederic could be an option for Game 1. He said he’d like to think he can play.

Knoblauch wouldn’t name his starting goalie. It sure seems like it’ll be Skinner.
