Evander Kane Suspended Three Games

October 1, 2019 at 11:35 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 23 Comments

Though there had been some previous reporting that Evander Kane could face up to a ten-game suspension, it won’t be quite as long of a ban for the San Jose Sharks forward. Kane has been issued a three-game suspension under Rule 40.4 for Physical Abuse of Officials.

The incident occurred in the third period of a preseason game against the Vegas Golden Knights, after Kane and Deryk Engelland were tied up along the boards. Kane ended up hitting the linesman with an errant slash, and pushed him away after the two had tumbled to the ice. While the contact was not viscous or intended to injure the official, the league will still keep Kane out for the first week of the year.

Previously, we saw a similar three-game suspension handed out to Anthony DeAngelo in 2017 when he was still on the Arizona Coyotes. DeAngelo also tried to get away from a linesman, pushing him in the process. Later that season Antoine Vermette was given a ten-game ban for what was deemed a Category II violation of Rule 40, when he slashed an official’s leg.

Kane will miss the team’s season opener tomorrow night and their home opener on Friday, both coincidentally against the Golden Knights. He’ll be eligible to return after the team’s third game, scheduled for Saturday in Anaheim.

    Linesman gets NO suspension…NHL screws up yet again…

    That said, MSG TO EVANDER KANE: KEEP YOUR FRIKKIN’ HEAD ON, OR YOU WILL START GETTING SUSPENDED FOR JUST BREATHING. You are a repeat offender, and you NEED to change your ways. SJS can’t afford to have you off the ice more than on the ice!

      Probably referring to Evander… Had to use all caps, due to the distance to SJ…

    Physical abuse of an official and he only gets three games but we are not supposed to think the NHL favors the San Jose Sharks? LMAO

    I think they NHL did a pretty good job here

    1. Slash on ref- accidental. Was aiming for Engelland and ref got in the middle

    2. Takedown- was the linesman A little aggressive, yes. But he’s trying to restore order in a preseason game when these two teams face each other twice this week.

    3. Forearm shiver- I believe this is where the three games comes in. Was kane frustrated, absolutely. But you still can’t strike and official.

    And in all this kane has also been suspended before so that probably came into this as well.

      I pretty much agree with what you said. Kane should not have been trying to slash England either. Kane should have easily seen that the linesman was there and should not have used his stick in that case. As you said, I do not think it was intentional on Kan’s part but as always, you have to always be in control of your stick. I do not think the linesman intended on taking down Kane either.I think Kane kinda lost his balance. The show was not so much but when you slash a linesman then shove him, you are going to get time. The linesman was trying to do what he is supposed to do.

      Linesman should have been publicly disciplined. Linesmen may have very well be instructed (now) to intervene ASAP, instead of letting the players go at it. Their job is to protect a player who might be at a disadvantage in a punch-in-the-face contest. Now, they seem bent on stopping player justice before it can come to fruition. That will lead to more problems…

      Ah, I see…we’ll all be holding our collective breath(s) on that one, eh? The next time, might be the first time… Remember, the NFL did that do some highly-esteemed referees, which was unheard of. Nothing wrong with the NHL following suit, but, we can all put our *shocked faces* on when that happens.

      Linesman should be suspended, If he didn’t take Kane down there would have been an issue. Let them play the game.

    Now they can re-sign Patrick Marleau and bring him back for a look at a minimum salary seen a story somewhere to this info , with Kane out for 3 games albeit appeal. or give one of the kids in system a good look. have 3 games of cap space without Kane in lineup.
