Edmonton Oilers' Evander Kane got serverly hit by Andreas Englund in game three against the Los Angeles Kings, which led to a massive brawl.
This time, the ever-controversial Kane wasn't under the bad light. He was on the receiving end of a massive hit to the head by Kings' Englund.During the third period, as the Oilers led 4-1, Kane was skating in the neutral zone and deflected a pass, without being in possession of the puck. As he was approaching the faceoff circle, with his head leaned forward, Englund hit him right on the head with his shoulder.
Watch a video of the hit here:
After the hit, Kane's teammates stepped in and a major scrum went down. Even Leon Draisaitl, with who he had some conflics during the season, came at his defense.
Eventually, Kane got up and dropped the gloves against Englund.
Here's a video of everything that happened:
Kane ended up getting a Gordie Howe hat trick, tallying a goal, an assists and a fight.
He explained why he was so good in the game, saying he liked the "drama" of the game:
"Just the drama of it all, it brings the best out of me."
After all the rumors that stated he wasn't appreciated in the locker room, seeing this makes everyone wonder if it was true:
