That is a huge deal for McDavid and the Oilers, let alone the league since that involves one of the league's biggest superstars.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is the best and arguably the most-recognizable player in the NHL today, being one of the few to be widely-known across the general sports world and not just hockey.

Oilers center Connor McDavid made a surprising move on Tuesday, and rejected his appeal for his 3-game suspension.

Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet spoke yesterday about Player Safety's decision to suspended Tyler Myers and Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid.

The Edmonton Oilers will be without Connor McDavid for their next three games after the NHL suspended the superstar forward following an illegal cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland on Saturday.

This is not the first time that McDavid has faced disciplinary action. He served a two-game suspension in February 2019 for a hit to the head on then-New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy. Additionally, he was fined $5,000 in March 2021.

Oilers star Connor McDavid and Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers both were hit with three-game suspensions for cross-checking incidents.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby offered his perspective on Connor McDavid’s three-game suspension for cross-checking Conor Garland during Saturday’s Edmonton-Vancouver clash. Speaking to The Athletic on Monday, Crosby acknowledged McDavid’s actions but framed them within the physical nature of hockey.

McDavid was speaking to the media for the first time since he struck Garland in the head in the dying seconds of Saturday’s 3-2 loss.

Oilers captain Connor McDavid is frustrated by the length of his suspension for a cross-check, but said of the incident that he "can't have that reaction."
