Leon Draisaitl lamented the NHL's disciplinary decisions when asked Tuesday about Connor McDavid's cross-checking suspension and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers' matching ban."I certainly think three games is a little too much,

Leon Draisaitl did his best at practice Tuesday morning when prodded by the media for a reaction on the three-game suspension handed to his friend and teammate Connor McDavid on Monday.

Nearly eight months ago, the Edmonton Oilers eliminated the Vancouver Canucks from the second round of the 2024 NHL Playoffs. Given the built-in Western-Canadian rivalry and recent playoff history, it was easy to assume their contests this season would have some extra oomph sprinkled in.

The Edmonton Oilers aren't taking the Connor McDavid suspension well, and now, top star Leon Draisaitl has fired back at the NHL with a major statement.

The Oilers' Leon Draisaitl says he guesses the NHL doesn't care about their best players playing, while Corey Perry says every other league protects superstars.

Leon Draisaitl believes the suspension is too much, but a report indicates Connor McDavid won't ask Gary Bettman to step in and review the case.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl scored his 29th goal in the first five minute of a game in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals.

Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers received match penalties for cross-checking in the dying seconds between the Oilers and Canucks. Both coaches were asked about the ending.

The Oilers can't get their emotions get the best of them as they face the Canucks without their suspended captain.

The Vancouver Canucks hit the road for a one-and-done road trip as they face their division rival Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. It was a 3-2 victory for the Canucks this past Saturday when the two teams last met.

The Edmonton Oilers will be without suspended superstar Connor McDavid when they host the struggling Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night in the second game between the Pacific Division rivals in less than a week.
