San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane is being sued by a Las Vegas casino that claims the 28-year-old failed to pay back $500,000 in gambling markers he received in mid-April.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, which filed the lawsuit Monday, claims Kane took out eight separate credits of varying amounts between $20,000 and $100,000, according to court documents obtained by Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The Cosmopolitan also seeks repayment of legal fees associated with the lawsuit.
Kane and the Sharks were in Las Vegas playing the Golden Knights in the first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs around the time he reportedly used the markers.
The Vancouver native is in the second season of a seven-year, $49-million deal he signed with San Jose ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.
