The San Jose Sharks forward is facing discipline for elbowing Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk on Friday.
The incident occurred with 6:58 remaining in the third period of the Sharks' 3-2 win at Bell MTS Place. Kane received a minor penalty for elbowing with 6:43 remaining. Pionk completed the game.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: elbowing. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
Kane this season was fined $5,000 for elbowing Washington Capitals defenseman Radko Gudas on Dec. 3 and was suspended three games for physical abuse of officials in a preseason game on Oct. 1.
