The Edmonton Oilers will be without Connor McDavid for their next three games after the NHL suspended the superstar forward following an illegal cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland on Saturday.
It's a big suspension for one of the brightest stars in all of hockey, and some seem to feel that the league was a bit too harsh with its disciplinary measures. Among those is fellow Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl, who told reporters Tuesday that he wasn't in agreement with the length of McDavid's suspension.
