The NHL's investigation into gambling allegations made against Evander Kane is expected to wrap up before the start of training camp in mid-September, league deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email to The Mercury News' Curtis Pashelka.
Daly also added that the San Jose Sharks forward has not been suspended.
Evander's wife, Anna, said he threw his own games for gambling reasons in a series of Instagram stories posted Saturday. The NHL released a statement of its own, saying the league would be taking her allegations "very seriously."
The following day, Evander denied Anna's claims, tweeting, "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 Colorado Avalanche signed defenseman Ryan Murray to a one-year deal worth $2 million, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
Murray accrued 14 points in 48 games while averaging 18:36 of ice time per contest with the New Jersey Devils during the 2020-21 campaign. The 27-year-old has eclipsed the 20-point mark three times over his career.
The 6-foot-1 left-handed shot is projected to slot into the Avalanche's middle pairing. He's joining a strong, defensively minded team in Colorado; the President Trophy-winning Avs led the league in shot attempts for (58%) and expected goals for (60%) while giving up the fewest high-danger goals (55) at all strengths last season.
Murray was drafted second overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2012 and has 124 points in 395 career games.

Several of Evander Kane's San Jose Sharks teammates would prefer he didn't play for the club in 2021-22, reports The Athletic's Kevin Kurz.
The Sharks reportedly tried to trade Kane earlier this offseason, and his uneasy relationship with a number of his teammates was a major reason why, Kurz adds.
The NHL is investigating Kane after his wife, Anna, said Saturday on Instagram that he threw games to support his gambling addiction. Kane denied the allegations Sunday. The league's probe is reportedly expected to be completed by training camp in September.
Meanwhile, the Hockey Diversity Alliance - which Kane helped create in June 2020 - placed him on voluntary leave Tuesday. Last summer, seven NHLers of color launched the organization - which seeks to eradicate racism and intolerance in hockey - with Kane serving as a co-head alongside Akim Aliu.
Kane is under contract with the Sharks through 2024-25. The seven-year pact he inked with San Jose in 2018 carries a $7-million cap hit, according to CapFriendly. Kane is owed another $26 million in total salary over the life of the deal.
The 12-year veteran has a modified no-trade clause as part of that pact. It allows him to submit a list of just three teams to which he can be dealt.
Kane filed for bankruptcy in January. While the Sharks had the option to void his contract in the proceedings, they chose not to do so in March. Kane said in May that the bankruptcy filing was a "weight off" his back.
The winger, who turned 30 on Monday, collected a career-high 0.88 points per game in 2021. He notched 22 goals and 27 assists while playing all 56 contests.
Kane has been a Shark for three full seasons and the final 17 games of 2017-18, the latter of which he played after the Buffalo Sabres traded him to San Jose.

The Winnipeg Jets inked Logan Stanley to a two-year contract carrying an average annual value of $900,000.
Stanley was a restricted free agent.
The 23-year-old remains a key member of Winnipeg's defensive corps, even after the Jets acquired Brenden Dillon and Nate Schmidt in recent trades.
Stanley collected only four points while averaging 13:13 of ice time over 37 games as a rookie in 2021, but the 6-foot-7 rearguard's underlying numbers were more favorable. Winnipeg controlled 51.19% of the scoring chances with Stanley on the ice at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick.
The Ontario-born blue-liner made his debut with the Jets after spending two campaigns with the club's AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose.
Winnipeg drafted Stanley 18th overall in 2016.

The Ottawa Senators re-signed defenseman Victor Mete to a one-year contract worth $1.2 million, the team announced Wednesday.
Mete was among 17 players to file for arbitration last week, which is no longer necessary with the two sides reaching a deal.
The Senators claimed the 23-year-old off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens last season. He skated in 14 games with Ottawa, scoring one goal and adding one assist. Mete also notched three helpers in 14 contests with the Canadiens prior to joining the Senators.
"Victor was a really solid addition to our defense corps over the last month of the season last year," general manager Pierre Dorion said. "He's mobile, poised, and defensively aware. We're looking forward to seeing his progression in our lineup in 2021-22."
Mete has scored five goals and 31 assists across 199 career NHL games.
