LAS VEGAS — Sharks forward Evander Kane was given an automatic three-game suspension by the NHL on Tuesday, two days after he was ejected from a preseason game with the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena for abuse of officials.
As part of the discipline announced by the league, Kane will also forfeit $112,903.23 of his average annual salary of $7 million.
If Kane does not appeal the suspension, the earliest he could return to the Sharks’ lineup would be Oct. 8 on the road against the Nashville Predators.
