Evander Kane underwent an emergency surgery on Tuesday night after being cut by a skate on his left arm.

Kane’s Edmonton Oilers were leading the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in the second period of their game when he was checked and lost his balance and fell to the ice. As Kane was down, Pat Maroon came over and cut Kane’s arm with his skate.
