Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane received a $5,000 fine from the NHL for his slash on Calgary Flames’ Dryden Hunt during Saturday’s game. The incident occurred early in the second period, resulting in a two-minute penalty for Kane and a subsequent Flames power play goal.
Despite his limited ice time during the game, Kane’s contributions throughout the season have been significant, especially in breaking a 21-game goalless streak with two goals in a recent game against the Colorado Avalanche.
