Kane, who also missed the Sharks’ previous four home contests for undisclosed reasons, didn’t join San Jose on its two-game road trip to Minnesota and Winnipeg on Monday and Tuesday and won’t be in the lineup on Thursday as his team takes on the Panthers.
Sharks teammate Erik Karlsson and his wife Melinda unfortunately went through similar circumstances last March when the couple lost their unborn son, Axel, just a month before he was due.
