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.
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.
