How Will the NHL Tackle a Potential Evander Kane Suspension? (The Hockey News)

There was a “karma!” reaction to the injury suffered by Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri Saturday night. But just because you don't like Kadri's ...

A suspension that wound up being in double-digits in games played would not only hurt the suspended player in the pocketbook, but it would hurt his team. Now, don’t take that to mean we expect a lengthy suspension from the DOPS. Given its past punishments, we’ve been conditioned to be disappointed by the length of suspensions. But just because you don’t like Kadri’s history as an antagonist who crosses the line far too often, that doesn’t justify what Edmonton Oilers winger Evander Kane did to Kadri in Game 3 of the Western Conference final.

Will Evander Kane be suspended? Oilers forward has NHL hearing ... (Sporting News)

Evander Kane got a five-minute major but stayed in the game after his hit on Nazem Kadri. He could be suspended for it.

Once again, Kane wasn't happy with the NHL and called out the department of player safety for "picking and choosing" their targets in a tweet. The NHL banned him for "conduct detrimental to the league" after he faked his COVID-19 vaccination card. The forward showed some contrition and apologized to the Sharks in a statement. He remained unsigned for a couple of weeks before the Oilers picked him up in late January. Kane was restrained by an on-ice official after a spat he had with Deryk Engelland in the third period of the contest with Vegas leading 5-1. He missed practice with the Sabres after attending the NBA All-Star Game, and the team opted to suspend him for one game as a result. "It's something that never should have happened," Kane said of the suspension. He stayed down after the hit and Kane was whistled for a penalty. As such, Kane is meeting with the NHL on Sunday to discuss potential discipline. Meanwhile, Kane was whistled for a five-minute major but wasn't ejected from the contest. He has already been ruled out for the rest of the series and could be out longer, per coach Jared Bednar. The Oilers winger was chasing Kadri in his defensive zone and attempted to prevent him from getting to the puck.
