Calgary Flames winger Brett Ritchie got the best of Edmonton Oilers forward Jujhar Khaira during a heated tilt in the latest installment of the Battle of Alberta on Monday night.
Khaira answered the bell after he delivered a high hit on Flames defenseman Oliver Kylington earlier in the game.
Kylington was forced to leave the game after the hit but did return later in the contest.
Khaira did not return to the game following his fighting major. He and defenseman Tyson Barrie, who also exited Monday's tilt, are each day-to-day with upper-body injuries, head coach Dave Tippett confirmed following the Oilers' 4-3 loss, according to 630ched.com's Reid Wilkins.
