Ryan Hartman let his feelings be known to the world and especially Evander Kane.
Midway through the third period of Tuesday’s contest, Edmonton Oilers winger Kailer Yamamoto got into a shoving match with Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov. Kane felt obligated to defend his teammate, and a sizable scrum ensued. Pushing and shoving along the boards, until Hartman powered through several bodies to get to the player picking on his winger.

On his second attempt to get to Kane, Hartman got him by the collar, but without any semblance of organized fight, the two needed to be pried apart by officials.
