He made his NHL Playoff debut in Calgary's 3-2 win in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Apr. 27, 2004 vs. Detroit.

A native of Camrose, Alberta, Evans has played five seasons in the AHL between Lowell Lock (Calgary; 2003-05), Binghamton (Ottawa; 2005-06) and Worcester (2006-08). Since making his professional debut with Lowell Lock in 2003-04, Evans has scored 7-49=56 points with a +22 rating and 723 PIM in 340 career AHL games.
