The Oilers and Wild game got heated last night with multiple controversial incidents, and while some insider suggested extra discipline for Ryan Hartman's slewfoot on Leon Draisaitl, no penalty will come.

There were two incidents in the Edmonton Oilers 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night that could well see the NHL hand out fines today, one incident involving Connor McDavid, the other Leon Draisaitl.

When Leon Draisaitl won his first Hart Trophy in 2019-20, he made his case during a stretch when teammate Connor McDavid was out with an injury. The Oilers had missed the playoffs in back-to-back years in 2017-18 and 2018-19 and found themselves back in the mix in 2019-20 after a hot start to the season.

The Wild held two separate leads before falling to Connor McDavid and the Oilers, losing Marcus Johansson along the way.

Draisaitl is expected to be a core piece for the Oilers for the foreseeable future. He signed an eight-year, $112 million contract ($14 million average annual value) starting next season and is currently in the final season of an eight-year, $68 million contract ($8.5 million AAV) signed prior to the 2017-2018 season.

Draisaitl scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
