Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers were both suspended three games for their cross-checks during Saturday's contest, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Monday.
The Buffalo Sabres weren’t ready to play, weren’t ready to battle, and weren’t ready to win a hockey game on Monday in Seattle, losing 6-4 to the Kraken. Paul Hamilton shares his postgame thoughts:
Oilers star Connor McDavid and Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers both were hit with three-game suspensions for cross-checking incidents.
Make no mistake, what transpired at the end of Saturday night’s game was ugly. Cross-checks to the head and neck, no matter the reason for it, are more than deserving of supplemental discipline.
Jiri Kulich had a goal and two assists and the Buffalo Sabres rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Tuesday night.
