The forward is leaving NHL club Vancouver, for whom the 35-year-old has not played a single game this season.
His contract with Novosibirsk runs until the end of the season.
Kane has played more than 1,000 NHL games for Atlanta, Winnipeg, Buffalo, San Jose, Edmonton and Vancouver. He has scored more than 700 points in total, but in recent years he has mainly made headlines off the ice.
He was fired by San Jose in 2022 after submitting a false vaccination certificate to the league, and was sued by a Las Vegas casino in 2019. A couple of years later, he was declared personally bankrupt over debts equivalent to approximately SEK 250 million.
He has also made headlines for a stormy divorce and recurring fights with teammates.
