Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers will have disciplinary hearings with the NHL—and are facing
The suspension comes after Tyler Myers cross-checked Evan Bouchard in Vancouver's game against the Edmonton Oilers.
Both players are facing potential suspensions after drawing match penalties during the chaotic closing seconds of Saturday's game in Vancouver.
NHL Player Safety announced Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Canucks D-man Tyler Myers are suspended for late-game cross-checks. Here's what the department said.
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 National Hockey League will hold its hearing into Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers’ crosschecking incidents on Monday. Both hearing are in-person so the most either player can get is a four game suspension.
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.
However, Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) could play ahead of Friedman if the former is able to suit up in any of the games that Myers is unavailable.
Rasmus Dahlin remains one of the top defensemen in the NHL. He has 32 points in 38 games and is averaging 24:33 this season. If the Canucks are going to have success on Tuesday, they need to limit Dahlin's chances and try to frustrate the 24-year-old.
That’s enough of a height difference that when Myers’ stick came up in a late-game moment of heightened adrenaline Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers’ defenceman, it was going to connect with the head and not the shoulder.
The fallout from the wild Edmonton Oilers/Vancouver Canucks game on Saturday has arrived. Oilers captain Connor McDavid, along with Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers, both received three-game suspensions for their cross-checks in the dying moments of the game.
