The NHL is well aware of the news that Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane turned himself into Buffalo police Friday morning, and has been charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass and five non-criminal offenses.

The league is monitoring the situation, but won't take any disciplinary action at this time, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Kane's arrest stems from an incident at Bottoms Up bar in Buffalo on June 24 where Kane allegedly put his hands on four people (three women and one male bouncer.)

The 24-year-old is also alleged to have put his hand on the throat of one of the woman while trying to force her into his car.

Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly spoke with Dreger, and says that Kane will be directed to the NHL/NHLPA Behavioral Health professionals for evaluation and counseling if deemed necessary.

The Sabres issued a statement Friday regarding the arrest stating they are aware of the incident and will not speak further.
