Kane, who received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct, argued that his stick rode up Bellemare’s arm. He appears to have a strong case.
“I’m not a dirty player,” the Sharks forward said. “Unfortunately, it kind of rode up the second time where he extended his arm there. Obviously, there was no intent. I’m glad he wasn’t hurt on the play. It was good to see him back on the ice.”
