The NHL Department of Player Safety laid down a significant suspension to a pair of players following the scrum between the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks. Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers were given matching three-game suspensions for their part in the altercation.

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.

Both players are facing potential suspensions after drawing match penalties during the chaotic closing seconds of Saturday's game in Vancouver.
