Evander Kane says there's a "good plan in place" for his return to the NHL, following his first practice with the San Jose Sharks' minor league affiliate on Tuesday.

Kane, 30, completed a 21-game suspension for violating the league's COVID-19 protocols. According to multiple sources, the suspension was due to Kane's submission of a fake vaccination card to the NHL and the Sharks.

The San Jose Sharks have placed forward Evander Kane on waivers on Sunday and plan to send him to the AHL if he isn't claimed by another team. Kane's 21-game suspension for submitting a fake vaccination card is set to expire after the Sharks play the Blackhawks on Sunday night.
