The San Jose Sharks’ Evander Kane Sunday denied his wife’s allegations on Instagram the day before that he bet on National Hockey League games, including against his team, and fixed games.

Kane tweeted, “I have never gambled/bet on Hockey, never gambled/bet on a Sharks game, never gambled/bet on any of my games and never thrown a hockey game.”

The NHL said it will carry out a full investigation. Anne Kane had written: “How does the NHL let a compulsive gambling addict still play when he’s obviously throwing games to win money? . . . Can someone ask [Commissioner] Gary Bettman how they let a player gamble on his own games? Bet and win with bookies on his own games?”

Evander Kane said the two are in the process of getting a divorce and called his wife “mentally unwell.”
