TAMPA, Fla. — Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane was taken to a hospital Tuesday night after being cut by a skate blade on his left wrist early in the second period against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Oilers said Kane was in stable condition and would undergo a procedure.
Kane went down to the ice when he got tangled with Lightning defenseman Philippe Myers and then was cut by Pat Maroon‘s skate when the Tampa Bay forward moved into the area just inside the Oilers’ defensive zone.
Kane grabbed the area of the cut with his right hand and quickly skated to the bench before heading down the tunnel toward the locker room.
A stretcher was brought out onto the ice but was not utilized.
“That’s a scary situation,” Maroon said. “I hope he’s OK. When you look down, you see that much blood, you know that there’s something wrong. It’s obviously not normal. So obviously the boys are really worried about him. We’re all thinking of Evander.”
The Oilers went on to win 3-2.
