Kane, 29, is a 12-year NHL veteran who has been with the Sharks since the 2017-18 season.
“The League was made aware this evening of a post on social media alleging that San Jose Sharks player Evander Kane bet on NHL games,” the NHL’s statement said.
In January, Kane filed for bankruptcy, claiming $26.8 million in debt, Sports Illustrated reported.
