Kane has been in headlines through much of the offseason and had been under investigation by the league for betting on games, for which he was cleared. In a separate investigation, the league also stated that allegations of domestic abuse, made by his estranged wife, Anna, could not be substantiated.

Kane also submitted a statement regarding the suspension. He’d be eligible to return to the Sharks’ lineup on November 30.
