Sharks winger Evander Kane was ejected from Thursday’s game against the Golden Knights, and that may not be the only action he misses during the playoff series.
Kane cross-checked Golden Knights winger Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in the face at the end of a play in the third period of the game, and it was actually a bit tough to watch.

Bellemare got knocked down, but did eventually get up, and appeared to be OK. As for Kane, he was hit with a game misconduct penalty, as well as a five-minute major (which was served by Kevin Labanc). The Golden Knights scored twice on that power play, jumping out to a 7-0 lead when it was all said and done.
The NHL’s Department of Player Safety will likely review the incident as well, and Kane will probably get hit with a suspension as a result of his actions.
