The family of Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane has grown larger, as he's now the father of his 4th child.
He and his fiancé Mara Teigen welcomed their 3rd child as a couple, a baby girl named Penelope Monroe Kane.
Teigen explained that not only was it an exciting time for her and Evander, but for their children Kensington, Hendrix, and Iverson.
It was very exciting. The kids were beyond excited. They still can't stop talking about her, and it's so sweet.I can finally relax knowing that I'm home, I have all my kids around me, [and] I don't have to worry about them being here or there. It's definitely been the best thing, [and] the past weekend was so nice, being able to settle in.
Kane wrote the following update on his Instagram account:
Proud to announce that Mara and I had our beautiful baby girl Penelope on March 4th, 2025. After 31 days in the NICU she was finally able to come home last week. Mara, it was incredible to watch your love and attention to Penelope throughout this entire process. We are so thankful that she is finally home, she is having tons of fun with her siblings.
The new young Oilers fan spent 31 days in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) before finally being able to come home.
Kane has yet to play for the Oilers after undergoing surgery last September for torn hip adductor muscles, two hernias and two torn lower abdominal muscles; he also underwent knee surgery in January.
In March, it was announced that Kane would remain on Long Term Injured Reserve, but that there was a chance that he could return for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which begin later this month.
Last year, he had 44 points (24 G, 20A) in 76 games. He's under contract through 2026.
