Evander Kane lands several body blows to defenseless Keegan Kolesar: ‘When you wanna f*** around, sometimes you have to find out’

The Edmonton Oilers made a statement in a few ways on Saturday night as they evened up their second-round matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights. Edmonton put four goals past Vegas goaltender Laurent Brossoit before there were three minutes left in the first period.

Later on in the game, several fights broke out and the rough stuff only subsided when the final horn sounded. The two teams ended the night with a total of 124 penalty minutes. One moment in particular amongst all the chaos raised eyes on social media and that involved the Oilers’ Evander Kane.

Kane pinned Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar to the ice and landed several hard body shots on his seemingly defenseless opponent.

Report: Alex Ovechkin called Evander Kane to try and get him to sign with the Capitals before the playoffs

Late last season, the Washington Capitals popped up in numerous rumors about being interested in signing Evander Kane.

“Another team who has at least discussed it and considered [signing Kane] is the Washington Capitals,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported in January. “There’s nothing done. No contact or nothing like that, but they’re another team in addition to the Oilers who have looked into this.”

Match TV’s Pavel Lysenkov recently added another layer to that reporting in a feature story he wrote about Kane’s season. Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, according to Lysenkov, called Kane personally to pitch him on signing with Washington around the time he was reinstated by the NHL.
