Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has been suspended three games for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland on Saturday.
Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers was also suspended three games for cross-checking Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard.
The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced the suspensions Monday afternoon after meetings with each player.
The incidents occurred during a melee at the end of the Canucks’ 3-2 win over the Oilers in Vancouver.
McDavid was given a match penalty when he hit Garland’s head after the two got tangled up with seconds left and the Oilers looking for the tying goal.
Myers also received a match penalty when he hit Bouchard in the face with his stick.
Everyone else on the ice received a minor penalty for roughing.
Based on average annual salary, McDavid will forfeit $195,312.51 and Myers will forfeit $46,875.
The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
