Evander Kane has once again found himself in hot water, drawing attention not for his play but for his actions during a game.
Oilers' Kane Faces Fine for On-Ice Misconduct
In a recent game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Kane was fined $2,500 by the NHL for a spearing incident. As he skated past the Blue Jackets' bench, he directed his stick at Cole Sillinger in a manner the league deemed inappropriate.
"Evander Kane apparently skated by the #CBJ bench early in the 2nd and speared Sillinger which is why he was fined today,» was the explanation provided.
«Some questions on what Evander Kane's fine was for – I'm told it was an incident in the second period in which he stuck his stick into the #CBJ bench.»
Despite the controversies that seem to follow him, including whispers of discord within the Oilers' locker room, Kane's on-ice performance has been solid. He has racked up 21 goals and 37 points this season, playing a significant role in the team's success.
