Kane’s 21-game suspension for violating the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol will end Monday, as the Sharks are scheduled to play the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night at the United Center.
The winger has not been around the team since training camp, although he reportedly recently skated away from his teammates at Sharks Ice.
