McDavid is automatically suspended after he cross-checked Canucks winger Conor Garland in the head late in Edmonton’s 3-2 loss to Vancouver
Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks players fight during the third period of an NHL hockey game in Vancouver on Jan. 18.The Oilers’ captain was handed a match penalty Saturday after he cross-checked Canucks winger Conor Garland in the head late in Edmonton’s 3-2 loss to Vancouver.
“I’m just holding him. I mean, he’s the best player to ever do it. So, the time’s running out. And I just thought that was maybe the best way for us to win a game was to do that,” Garland said of the battle. “I don’t want to hurt him.”“Absolutely, there’s a rivalry and Connor gets frustrated. He gets his stick up, and he’s frustrated because we’re down one goal and the best player in the league is getting held for 15 seconds,” Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch said.
As McDavid was led off the ice, Garland and Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl exchanged heated words – and shoves – along the end boards. Vancouver took a 3-0 lead in the first period before Draisaitl responded with a pair of goals in the second.
