The NHL's recent attention to gambling activities, exemplified by the suspension of Ottawa Senators' free agent forward Shane Pinto earlier this season, has intensified the league's scrutiny of players' off-ice conduct.

Kane's troubled history with gambling and financial struggles, despite signing a substantial deal with the San Jose Sharks, has been a well-documented saga. Admitting to placing up to 50 daily bets during the peak of his gambling addiction, Kane's financial woes culminated in a bankruptcy filing in January 2021, amounting to a staggering $26.8 million in debt. Subsequently, his contract termination led him to join the Edmonton Oilers.

While Kane has not faced an official ban, his estranged ex-wife has previously accused him of betting, and has now circled back to those reports, throwing more allegations:

The recent revelations from Anna Kane on Instagram hint at a potential resurgence of gambling-related issues involving Evander Kane. Anna, actively sharing updates on their custody battle for their daughter Kesington, suggests that Kane continues to gamble and neglects settling losses. This contradicts Kane's claim from last year that he was addressing his gambling problems post-bankruptcy.

The public disputes between Anna and Evander Kane have been marked by incidents such as an Instagram video showing Kane allegedly pointing a "loaded" gun at her a few years back, and it has not stopped since on Anna's side, posting controversy every chance she gets.
