A terrifying incident took place during Tuesday's Oilers-Lightning contest, with Oilers forward Evander Kane suffering a cut via the skate blade of Tampa winger Pat Maroon.
In the second period, Kane chased the puck along the boards but fell down awkwardly after getting caught up with Lightning defenseman Philippe Myers. As Maroon approached the tangled combatants in pursuit of the puck, his momentum moved him awkwardly into Kane as his skate sliced the left forearm or wrist area of the Oilers forward.
