Evander Kane suffered severe injuries as a result of a play that appeared to be innocent. Evander Kane was lying on the ice when a skate slid over his wrist, slicing it and causing instant injury as blood began to flow. Former Flyers defenseman Philip Myers was the one who started the collision that led to the injuries.
Because two players were only pursuing the puck, the hit was unintentional.
By no means is Myers a shady player.
It was sad, but Myers made no conscious effort to put Kane in risk.
