In a recent match between the Edmonton Oilers and the Minnesota Wild, things got heated, especially in the later stages of the game.

Former Chicago Blackhawks player Ryan Hartman is now facing accusations of intentionally harming an opponent with his skate.

The game, which took place on Friday night, witnessed a fierce battle between the Oilers and the Wild. However, tensions escalated, leading to accusations from Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane. Kane stated in his post-game remarks to reporters that Hartman purposefully dragged his skate across Kane's face.

While Kane is known for his outspoken nature, video footage clearly shows Hartman moving his skate across Kane's face.

The big question is whether this action was a deliberate attempt to injure Kane following a significant hit. The answer remains unclear, but considering Hartman's history, it raises the possibility that such an act could be within his consideration.

As discussions unfold about the incident, attention to player conduct and potential disciplinary measures may come into play. The video evidence and player statements will likely be crucial in determining the intent behind Hartman's actions and whether they warrant further investigation by the league.
