What Evander Kane's suspension means for Sharks ahead of season-opener

With two tough games against the Vegas Golden Knights scheduled to kick off their 2019-20 campaign, there's no doubt the Sharks are disappointed they won't have Evander Kane in the lineup.

Following a very contentious preseason finale at T-Mobile Arena, No. 9 was suspended for the first three games of the regular season for violating Rule 40.4 during the third period of Sunday's preseason game against the Golden Knights. Kane was assessed a game misconduct midway through the third period Sunday in the Sharks' preseason finale against the Vegas Golden Knights after an incident with defenseman Deryk Engelland.
