The incident happened midway through the third quarter, when Hartman attacked as Oilers forward Evan de Kane chased wild superstar Kirill Kaprizov, who got into a scuffle with Edmonton's Kyler Yamamoto. . Cain checks on Kapritsov in defense of Yamamoto, and several members of the Wilderness follow him, causing a brawl. Hartman tried to pull Kane out of the crowd and started the fight, but the linesman did not allow both players to take off their gloves. As they parted, Hartman gave Kane his middle finger and the linesman escorted both players off the ice. "It turned out that we had five people there. None of them there could help him," Hartman told reporters of the incident. "I don't think any of them will defend him." Hartman also said it would be "worth it" if the NHL decided to punish him for his stance on Kane. When asked about the scrum, Kane said he wished he had the ability to handle the challenge of wild players. "All five guys used it, they couldn't trip me," Kane explained. "I definitely want to go, so to speak." Asked if Hartman planned to fight him and then give him his middle finger, Kane smiled and ignored it, saying that Hartman would become more willing to fight once the linesman stepped in. "Yeah, these little boys, they want to play hard," he said. "They're waiting for the linesman to come." Both Kane and Hartman were penalized for game misconduct for the game.
