The NHL has laid the hammer down on Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid. The three-time Hart Trophy winner has received a three-game suspension from the league for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland in the head late in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to their Pacific Division rivals.
With his three-game suspension, McDavid is in line to miss Edmonton's matchups against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, Jan. 21, a rematch against the Canucks on Thursday, Jan. 23, and a home tilt against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, Jan. 25. He'll be eligible to return against the Seattle Kraken on Monday, Jan. 27.
Saturday's game also included a suspension for Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers. Myers was also suspended for a cross-check to the head, with his target being Evan Bouchard. Myers will forfeit $46,875.00, with the money going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
