While Oilers fans may have been worried about Connor McDavid after Carson Soucy's brutal act following game three, but it appears they've got nothing to worry about.

After a tight loss in game three, all hell broke loose between the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks, with the biggest play being defenseman Carson Soucy cross-checking Connor McDavid in the face.

On Monday, the NHL officially announced that the hulking blue liner would miss game four of the series as a result of a one-game suspension.

When asked about the incident, Connor McDavid had a surprising reaction, as he simply laughed off the play, chalking it up to physical playoff hockey.

»I feel great. It's a tough game. They got big D-men that, like I said, make it hard on you. They play a physical brand of hockey, and it's fun to be a part of. It's a fun series to be a part of. Obviously two Canadian teams going at it, there's a lot of passion. Yeah, you know it's part of it.»
-Connor McDavid

This is a great sign for the Oilers, as their captain appears to be locked in and not phased by the dirty play at all, and with a chance to level the series at 2-2 heading back to Vancouver for Game Five, you can bet that No. 97 will be at his absolute best on Tuesday night.
