The Vancouver Canucks secured the 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, but they may have lost a defenceman in the process.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will have a disciplinary hearing for his cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety has announced that both Vancouver Canucks' Tyler Myers and Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid will have hearings in the near future. Both were assessed match penalties at the end of Saturday's game for delivering cross-checks to an opponent's head.

The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks got into a major skirmish to end last night's game, but defenceman Tyler Myers may end up getting the longer suspension.

This is not the first time that McDavid has faced disciplinary action. He served a two-game suspension in February 2019 for a hit to the head on then-New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy. Additionally, he was fined $5,000 in March 2021.

Myers will have a hearing with NHL Player Safety for a cross-check on Evan Bouchard in Saturday's win over Edmonton. Myers received a match penalty following a scrum late in the game, and it appears the blueliner could miss additional time due to suspension.

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers will have a hearing Monday with the NHL’s department of player safety after after hitting Edmonton Oilers defenceman Bouchard in the face with his stick.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will have a hearing for his cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland, the league's Department of Player Safety announced Sunday.

Suspensions appear to be on the way for both Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers, after Saturday's game between the Oilers and Canucks.

According to new reports from NHL insider David Pagnotta, Player Safety will announce their decisions to discipline Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers after their hearings on Monday.
