Edmonton Oilers' captain Connor McDavid has been suspended for three games due to a head-high cross-check against Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland during a recent match. The incident occurred late in the game on Saturday, where tensions escalated after a physical play. This marks McDavid's second career suspension, having previously faced a two-game ban in 2019 for a similar offense.

In a related incident, Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers has also received a three-game suspension for cross-checking Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard. Both players will miss the upcoming rematch between the Oilers and Canucks, which adds to the growing list of disciplinary actions stemming from a chaotic end to the recent clash.
