The Edmonton Oilers’ slim playoff chances could take a hit. No pun intended.
Oilers forward Evander Kane will face a disciplinary hearing after Saturday night‘s hit on Colorado Avalanche’s Nazem Kadri.
The incident occurred just over a minute into the contest, as Kadri chased a puck in the Oilers’ corner. Kane cross-checked Kadri as he was attempting to gain possession of the puck, with the Avs’ forward unable to protect himself as he was propelled into the boards.
Kane was assessed a five-minute major on the play but avoided a game misconduct.
Edmonton’s Evander Kane will have a hearing today for Boarding Colorado’s Nazem Kadri.
