Ryan Hartman and Evander Kane ejected after Hartman makes an 'obscene gesture'
Things for extremely heated between the Edmonton Oilers and Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. With approximately 10-minutes left in the game and the Wild up by 4 goals a scrum ensued.
During the scrum Ryan Hartman and Evander Kane attempted to pair off but the linesmen refused to let the two players go at it.
As the two players were being separated, Ryan Hartman flipped off Evander Kane. Unfortunately for Hartman the NHL considers this sort of conduct an obscene gesture. So it's likely he'll be receiving a fine or suspension from the league.
Both men received roughing minors on the play and misconducts which removed both men from the game.
