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

Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid is facing an NHL hearing after a cross-check occurred during a team game against Vancouver.

It's looking more and more likely that the Edmonton Oilers will be without captain Connor McDavid for at least the next game.

The Edmonton Oilers may be without Connor McDavid as he faces a hearing following a cross-checking incident against the Vancouver Canucks.

The incident occurred after McDavid and Garland became entangled in the high slot for about 15 seconds. Frustration boiled over as McDavid wrestled free and delivered a "brutal cross-check," as described by one of the Sportsnet game announcers, that struck Garland in the head, sending him to the ice.

The Oilers captain was given a major penalty in the dying seconds of the team’s 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. This was due to McDavid cross-checking Canucks forward Conor Garland in the head following a lengthy battle between the two in the middle of the Vancouver zone.

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 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.

Edmonton's Connor McDavid and Toronto's Tyler Myers will have disciplinary hearings with the league after being penalized for cross-checking in Saturday's game.
