The Edmonton Oilers and the Minnesota Wild faced off on Friday night it what turned out to be a rather heated game on both sides, eventually boiling over late. Now it appears one Edmonton Oilers forward is throwing around intent to injure accusations.
When speaking to reporters after the game, Evander Kane made it clear that Ryan Hartman dragged his skate over Kane's face on purpose; take a look.
Kane says Hartman "dragged a skate over my face on purpose" in last night's game. Here's what he said about it and the play in question. #LetsGoOilers
Kane is a known agitator that has been known to like to stir things up in the media, but watching the video, it does look like Hartman brings his skate across his face.
The question is, was Hartman doing it intentionally to try and hurt Kane after a big hit? I'm not so sure. However, given Hartman's track record, it does sound like something he would think about doing at the very least.
