The Edmonton Oilers' forward Evander Kane is no stranger to headlines, but recent events involving his estranged wife, Anna Kane.

Have thrust him into the spotlight for reasons beyond hockey. The Kanes' divorce has been anything but private, with legal battles spilling into the public eye and Anna's continuous social media antics adding fuel to the fire.

In a recent Instagram interaction, Anna Kane sent a direct message to Calgary Flames' forward Matthew Tkachuk, which she later shared online.

"If you really want to make him mad let me know" - Anna Kane to Matthew Tkachuk

This attempt to involve another NHL player in their personal disputes marks a new low in what has been a series of provocative moves by Anna aimed at antagonizing Evander.

Amidst the ongoing drama, Anna Kane has been spotted at several Oilers games during the playoffs, including trips to Los Angeles and Vancouver. Her presence at these games comes despite previous attempts by Evander to distance her from the team, highlighting the ongoing tension.

The situation took a more concerning turn when Evander Kane, known for his resilience on the ice, was unexpectedly benched during Game 3 of the playoffs. Coach Knoblauch cited the need for healthier players as the rationale behind the decision, leaving Kane out of the lineup for the first time this postseason. His absence at subsequent practices suggests that his return in Game 4 remains uncertain.

The distressing saga off the ice and the physical toll on the ice are evidently weighing heavily on Kane. With the recent developments, it seems more likely that Evander will pursue legal avenues to renew the restraining order against Anna, in an effort to regain some semblance of peace amidst the ongoing

public and personal turmoil.

The Oilers' management and fans alike are undoubtedly concerned about how these off-ice distractions might affect Kane's performance and the team's morale. As the Oilers continue their pursuit in the playoffs, all eyes will be on how the team, and particularly Kane, navigate the challenges ahead. With the potential for further disruptions, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, both in the legal courts and on the ice.
