Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid was assessed a match penalty during the waning moments of the team's loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night after an altercation with Canucks forward Conor Garland.
After the two were tangled up on the ice and exchanging some shoves, a frustrated McDavid could be seen cross-checking Garland in the head. The NHL's Department of Player Safety reviewed the incident and deemed McDavid's actions to be well out of line, ultimately deciding to issue the three-time Hart Trophy winner a three-game suspension.
