Kane creates some space for himself by being willing to be dirty at times. The main thing though, is he has both inside and outside speed. Johnny doesn’t have the ability to turn the defender and go around to the outside while protecting the puck. When he does he has to go deep (leading to that bad angle shot). Defenders have figured this out, and where they used to back off because they thought he could beat them outside, they now play him tight.
