<strong>ORIGINAL POST:&nbsp;</strong><br>
The National Hockey League has concluded its investigation into San Jose Sharks forward @Evander Kane and the allegations that he bet on league games.<br>
The investigation, which was conducted by Patterson Belknap Webb &amp; Tyler LLP in conjunction with NHL Security, found no evidence to support the allegations, the league said in a statement on Wednesday…</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="164"></div>

The investigation featured a review of social media, court filings, and public data from Kane’s bankruptcy and divorce proceedings, patterns from his betting history over multiple years, along with interviews with members of the Sharks and Kane himself. Kane’s wife, Anna Kane, refused to participate in the hearings.<br>
Kane and his wife are currently battling for custody of their one-year-old daughter and she’s pregnant with their second child. His wife alleged that Kane lost “almost one million dollars” gambling as Sharks played the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The form of gambling isn’t specified in the documents.<br>
Kane has now been cleared of his gambling accusations, but Wednesday’s release from the league indicates that a separate investigation involving the player is ongoing…</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="155"></div>
<blockquote><p>“Additional unrelated allegations, however, involving potential wrongdoing by Mr. Kane have been brought to our attention. These allegations are being thoroughly investigated and the National Hockey League will have no further comment regarding their substance pending completion of that process.”</p></blockquote>

<a href="https://frontofficesports.com/sharks-star-evander-kane-facing-a-new-set-of-allegations/">According to Front Office Sports</a>, the new set of allegations against Kane are from his wife, including multiple forms of sexual assault and domestic battery. The new accusations came in a domestic restraining order filed by Anna Kane as part of her divorce case in California.<br>
Kane’s attorney, Travis Krepelka, wrote in a statement to FOS that his client denies the allegations…</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="2" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="140"></div>
<blockquote><p>“To be clear, Evander denies ever abusing Ms. Kane or their daughter Kensington, whom he cherishes. He recognizes that they have many years ahead of them as co-parents, during which they will have to work together, which makes it that much more frustrating that she has chosen this path.<br>
“As everyone knows, she has falsely accused him of betting on and throwing games, prompting an investigation by the NHL. We are confident he will be cleared and that investigation closed soon.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Kane is coming off of a season in which he led the Sharks in goals with 22 and points with 49. He has four more years left on the seven-year, $49,000,000 deal he inked with the Sharks back in 2018.<br>
Back in August, <a href="https://theathletic.com/news/several-sharks-teammates-dont-want-evander-kane-back-on-the-team-sources/1ffGCFrGpnx3">The Athletic reported</a> that multiple players on the Sharks said that they didn’t want Kane back with the team.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="3" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="141"></div>
<blockquote><p>The team was trying to trade Kane earlier this summer, a source says, confirming a report from the Daily Faceoff. A big part of the reason for the team to pursue a deal was Kane’s strained relationship with many of his teammates, according to several sources.<br>
According to one source, the frustration with Kane stemmed from a general “disrespect for team rules,” such as being late for practices and games.<br>
“And zero consequences came, which caused a ripple effect with other, younger guys,” added the source. According to another source: “It wasn’t easy dealing with him this season.”</p></blockquote>
