Evander Kane and Leon Draisaitl Caught Arguing on Oilers Bench

During a very frustrating night for the Edmonton Oilers, cameras caught two of their biggest stars Evander Kane and Leon Draisaitl in a heated exchange on the bench.

The Edmonton Oilers are far from falling apart, as they sit in second spot in the Pacific Division with the playoffs around the corner, but it's safe to say there were a few worrying trends during their latest loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Despite Zach Hyman netting his 49th goal on the year, the Oilers were outmatched by Toronto, losing 6-3 in a very entertaining game, but it was something that the Sportsnet cameras caught that was most interesting;



Given what veteran forward Corey Perry had to say about the Edmonton Oilers locker room and needing to keep egos in check in a recent interview, this isn't the best timing for Evander Kane and Leon Draisaitl to be caught arguing like this.

Evander Kane's reputation around the league certainly isn't sparkling, so this could be another case of his attitude catching up with the locker room, but if they are to chase the ultimate prize in the NHL, the Oilers need to get this under control.

It could just be a matter of two very high level players full of passion letting the heat of the moment get to them, but with so many rumours connected to this locker room, it's not a sight that Oilers fans want to see. Still, they remain in second place in the division even with the loss, and will now look to rebound as they continue chasing down the Vancouver Canucks with the Stanley Cup Playoffs right around the corner.
