NHL star wins model back with huge billboard

Grand gestures of love don’t just happen in the movies.

After splitting with model gal pal Mara Teigen last month, Sabres winger Evander Kane channeled his inner rom-com hero by plastering her name and mug on one of the hottest billboards in Los Angeles in an attempt to win her back.

Spoiler alert: It worked.

“I was very flattered, I thought it was really sweet, really clever,” the Wilhelmina model tells TMZ. “He told me, ‘I have a surprise for you on Friday, and your hint is we’ll be taking a few laps.’ I was just thinking, ‘What could that be?'”

Despite Kane and Teigen both gleefully declaring their independence earlier this summer, it seems the Vancouver native’s “cute” tactic warranted a second chance with the blue-eyed beauty.

“We’re working things out, so we’ll see,” Teigen said.
