Oilers' McDavid, Canucks' Myers face suspensions

Edmonton captain Connor McDavid and Vancouver defenseman Tyler Myers will have disciplinary hearings with the league for their actions in the Canucks' 3-2 win over the Oilers on Saturday.

The NHL's player safety department said hearings for both players will occur on Monday afternoon.

The pair are facing potential suspensions after drawing match penalties during the chaotic closing seconds of the game in Vancouver.

Multiple scrums erupted, and McDavid was penalized for cross-checking Vancouver's Conor Garland, while Myers was penalized for cross-checking Edmonton's Evan Bouchard.

McDavid, 28, has 65 points (20 goals, 45 assists) through 43 games. The three-time Hart Trophy winner earned 15 penalty minutes Saturday after entering the night with only 14 on the season.

"Connor gets frustrated, and he gets his stick up," Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. "He's frustrated because we're down one goal and the best player in the league is getting held for 15 seconds."

McDavid's only suspension so far in his 10-year career was a two-game ban in February 2019 after an illegal check to the head against New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy.

Myers, 34, has 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) and 54 penalty minutes -- including 17 on Saturday -- through 45 games.

Myers previously was suspended three games for boarding in 2012 and three games for a hit to the head in 2014.
