Corey Perry tore into Kane for a while, as reported by Sportsnet, visibly expressing his frustration over what appeared to be a costly mistake by Kane, resulting in a turnover.
In the aftermath of the incident, Zach, the news director for the Edmonton Oilers, provided insight into the dynamics between Corey Perry and Kane. Despite Perry's initial outburst, he was observed engaging in a cordial conversation with Kane shortly after.
"Moments after the big scrum at the end of the second, Corey Perry remained pretty upset, slamming the bench door. then, he has a cordial conversation with Evander Kane," Zach tweeted.
However, head coach Kris Knoblauch downplayed the incident, attributing it to the emotions of passionate players striving for victory.
“Emotional," he said. "I know before the period started, they had talked and made it out. There’s just a disagreement and two passionate players. Nothing more than that.”
This incident marked the second time in recent weeks that Kane found himself under scrutiny from his fellow players.
