In a heated end to the game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks, Connor McDavid was ejected for a match penalty after cross-checking Tyler Myers in the head. This incident occurred as McDavid attempted to free himself from Myers, who was impeding his progress on the ice during a crucial moment in the match. With just 2.3 seconds left, the altercation escalated into a scrum involving players from both teams.
Following the match, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced that Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers would have phone hearings regarding their penalties. Both players faced possible disciplinary action, with the potential for a suspension of up to five games or a fine exceeding $5,000. This reflects the NHL's ongoing commitment to player safety and the enforcement of rules against dangerous plays.
