Notably, Evander Kane has reportedly been causing locker room problems, leading to rumors that he might be traded. However, that clearly never came to fruition. Still though, there may be some truth to the rumors that he's a problem in the locker room. After all, Kane left his last team, the San Jose Sharks, when the team terminated his contract for violating the NHL's Covid-19 policy.

Draisaitl did play a prominent role in the game last night despite the altercation with Kane. He would score a 6 on 5 goal to cut the Leafs' lead to 5-3.
