San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane will have a hearing for his cross-check on Vegas Golden Knights forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

For the infraction, Kane was assessed a major and a game misconduct, which occurred 3:25 into the third period. The Golden Knights subsequently scored two power-play goals with the man advantage en route to a 7-0 blowout in Game 1 of the series.

Luckily for the Golden Knights, Bellemare was not seriously injured on the play.

Meanwhile, any suspension to Kane would be a big loss for the Sharks as the 26-year-old shares the team lead with three goals in five games this postseason.
