Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers have both been suspended three games for illegal cross-checks.

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers was suspended three games for his aggressive cross check on Evan Bouchard, and while trying to defend himself, offered a lacklustre explanation.

The National Hockey League will hold its hearing into Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers’ crosschecking incidents on Monday. Both hearing are in-person so the most either player can get is a four game suspension.
