Oilers' Evander Kane Settles Lawsuit Stemming from Alleged 2015 Physical Battery

Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane settled a lawsuit tied to allegations of an assault in 2015, according to The Athletic's Daniel Kaplan.

Rachel Kuechle filed suit against Kane in July 2016, saying she suffered "serious emotional trauma" and "serious, permanent and painful personal injuries" from the then-Buffalo Sabres star inflicting a physical battery on her.

Kane filed a defamation case against Kuechle in response.

Per Kaplan, a bankruptcy attorney for Kane declined to provide any specifics regarding the settlement, which covers both the lawsuit and countersuit.
