The San Jose Sharks and former forward Evander Kane have settled a grievance over his contract termination last season before the matter would have gone to arbitration.
San Jose forward Evander Kane, who did not participate with the Sharks at training camp, has been suspended for 21 games without pay by the NHL for an "established violation" of the NHL/NHLPA COVID-19 protocol.
As the regular season nears, the NHL is looking into allegations that embattled San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane submitted a fake COVID-19 vaccination card, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said Evander Kane's absence from training camp was "not ideal" but said the team will focus on "the things that we can control."
The NHL said Tuesday it found no evidence Evander Kane bet on league games but also said it has opened a new investigation into the Sharks veteran for "unrelated allegations of potential wrongdoing that were brought to the league's attention."
Sharks forward Evander Kane says he thinks the NHL will clear him after his estranged wife accused him of betting on NHL games.
