The Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers are now facing hearings with the NHL Department of Player Safety. The Oilers Connor McDavid and the Canucks Tyler Myers are both facing suspensions for illegal cross-checking.

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 captain was assessed a match penalty for the incident, which comes with an automatic suspension pending a review by the commissioner.

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.

Edmonton Oilers star center Connor McDavid is getting some bad news. McDavid is required to attend an NHL hearing after a cross-check he committed on Vancouver’s Conor Garland, per NHL Player Safety.
