NEW YORK – The NHL has assessed Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane a maximum fine of US$5,000 for slashing Calgary forward Dryden Hunt in a game Saturday night.
The incident happened at 3:46 of the second period. Kane was assessed a minor penalty for slashing.
The Oilers went on to win the game 4-2 and take three of the four games in the series between the provincial rivals.
The fine is Kane’s second of the season after he was penalized $2,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct against Columbus forward Cole Sillinger last month.
The Oilers start a four-game homestand Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
