Connor McDavid was issued a three-game suspension by the NHL as a result of the illegal cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland on Saturday. McDavid was issued a match penalty in the waning moments of that game, before the league tacked on the suspension, which was the second suspension and the longest ban of McDavid's career.
McDavid's Edmonton Oilers are taking on the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night, one of the three games he won't be available for, and it seems Capitals star Alex Ovechkin won't be missing McDavid's presence on the ice.
