By now you’ve probably seen the hit in question. San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane has a hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety for his vicious cross-check to the face of Vegas Knights forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.
At the 03:25 mark of the third period, Kane was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
Based on what we have seen in the playoffs, I am guessing a 1-2 game suspension for Mr. Kane.
