Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will have to explain in a telephone hearing for the double-check he inflicted on Vancouver Canucks forward Connor Garland on Saturday evening.
Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers will also have a telephone hearing for his double-check against Evan Bouchard, which also occurred Saturday evening.
Both players received a match penalty on the sequence.
Vancouver and Edmonton will face each other again on Thursday, this time on Edmonton’s side.
-McDavid’s only suspension came in 2019 and was for two games. He was then penalized for an illegal check on Nick Leddy’s head. No. 97 of the Oilers was not penalized earlier this week after his elbow to the head of Marcus Johansson of the Minnesota Wild.
For his part, Myers was already suspended for three games in March 2012 following a hit on Scott Gomez in a game against the Montreal Canadiens.
