Kane received a two-minute minor for elbowing on the play, which came late in the third period. The Sharks managed to kill the penalty and hold on for a 3-2 win.
This marks Kane's fourth career suspension. He received a three-game ban for abuse of an official in the preseason, a one-game punishment for cross-checking in 2018, and he sat two contests for boarding in 2014.
