This isn't Kane's first suspension of the season, as the winger missed the first three games of the regular season after shoving an official during a preseason game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
He will be eligible to return to the ice Feb. 22 in New York, when the Sharks visit the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
