The Edmonton Oilers will play the next three games without superstar captain Connor McDavid after the NHL suspended him for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland on Saturday.

The Oilers’ fanbase has since been getting pretty upset with the insider, who appears to have admiration for the Canucks right winger’s actions during the tense moment of the game. Sure, fans enjoy a good fight, but no one wants to see anyone get hurt. Which could have happened when McDavid used his stick to cross-check Garland near his face.

With his three-game suspension, McDavid is in line to miss Edmonton's matchups against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, Jan. 21, a rematch against the Canucks on Thursday, Jan. 23, and a home tilt against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, Jan. 25. He'll be eligible to return against the Seattle Kraken on Monday, Jan. 27.
