Evander Kane was recently acquitted of playing in his own matches.
But now he is convicted.
This time for violating the covid-19 protocol that applies in the league.
The Canadian is said to have used a fake vaccination card in the United States, which could lead to imprisonment.
He is now suspended for 21 matches without pay.
For Kane, this means a salary penalty of 1.68 million dollars (14.6 million kronor), according to AP.
"I want to apologize to my teammates, the San Jose organization and all the fans for breaking the covid-19 protocol.
I made a mistake that I deeply regret and for which I take responsibility ", he says in a statement.
"During my suspension, I will continue to seek help so that I can make better decisions in the future," Evander said in the statement.
At the same time, the league announces that they are closing the investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
