Edmonton Oilers Star Facing Suspension After Dirty Cross-Check

Last night's Battle of Alberta reached a fever pitch as tensions escalated, culminating in Evander Kane's cross-check on Nazem Kadri of the Calgary Flames. The incident occurred away from the play, sending Kadri crashing to the ice.

Witness the moment here.

"Kadri is all smiles after receiving a cross-check from Kane. 🤭"

Given the cross-check's off-ball nature, many speculate it could result in a suspension, akin to Morgan Rielly's case, though likely not as severe since it wasn't directed at the head.
