The Vancouver Canucks secured the 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, but they may have lost a defenceman in the process.
The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks got into a major skirmish to end last night's game, but defenceman Tyler Myers may end up getting the longer suspension.
Suspensions appear to be on the way for both Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers, after Saturday's game between the Oilers and Canucks.
Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers received match penalties for cross-checking in the dying seconds between the Oilers and Canucks. Both coaches were asked about the ending.
Make no mistake, what transpired at the end of Saturday night’s game was ugly. Cross-checks to the head and neck, no matter the reason for it, are more than deserving of supplemental discipline.
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.
The Edmonton Oilers may be without Connor McDavid as he faces a hearing following a cross-checking incident against the Vancouver Canucks.
