The NHL said it will investigate an allegation made by Evander Kane’s wife that the San Jose Sharks forward bet on his own games and has intentionally tried to lose for gambling profit. The league said Saturday night on Twitter that it was made aware of the social media posts by Anna Kane and plans to conduct a full investigation. Anna Kane wrote on Instagram: "How does the NHL let a compulsive gambling addict still play when he’s obviously throwing games to win money? The NHL said: "The integrity of our game is paramount and the League takes these allegations very seriously." According to Capfriendly, which charts hockey salaries, he has made just under $56 million during his NHL career.
