NHL star opens up on 'extremely scary' injury after slashing wrist on opponent's skate

NHL star Evander Kane was rushed to hospital after having his wrist slit by a skate in the middle of a game, but the Edmonton Oilers player will make a full recovery.

Kane fell to the ice after colliding with Tampa Bay Lightning player Philippe Myers, and the incident occurred while he was on the ground. Lightning player Pat Maroon accidentally skated over his wrist with his exposed blade, which opened up a deep cut in his arm.

Kane immediately grabbed hold of his wrist and applied pressure, and skated to the bench before leaving to receive medical attention at a local hospital. The game was stopped for a few minutes before resuming, with the Oilers winning 3-2.
