EDMONTON -- Edmonton Oilers have the Calgary Flames number this season.

The Oilers have won the season series over the Flames - by winning tonight's game 4-2. Center of the point production was Connor McDavid, who is now up to 99 assists on the season.
However, it hasn't been all rainbows and unicorns. Once again, Evander Kane makes a small mistake in the offensive zone and draws the ire of a teammate.
While the last conversation with Leon Draisaitl in Toronto seemed like two teammates trying to communicate in a healthy way - this is something else entirely.
The Sportsnet panel spoke about this moment before the third period began - and they believe it has something to do with a play in which Kane threw the puck at the net, which then led to a change of possession in the offensive zone, when he could have just continued to cycle the puck. Corey Perry was behind the net, available to receive a pass and maintain possession.
In addition to the yelling you see above, Perry also slammed the bench door several times (not seen in the above clip). Clearly he is not happy with his (now former) linemate. In the third period Kane was relegated to the fourth line with Derek Ryan and Warren Foegele.
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of Kane's life in Edmonton.
*Update: Read what Perry said to Kane, according to a fan in attendance.
