Connor McDavid had a decision to make, and that was whether he would be appealing his three-game suspension, and the verdict is now in. Connor McDavid was <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/news/connor-mcdavid-and-tyler-myers-both-receive-multi-game-suspensions-after-ejections-on-saturday' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>given a three-game suspension on Monday</a> following an incident where he cross-checked Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland in a 3-2 loss to the Canucks on Saturday. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1881488497225371786'> </a></blockquote></div> The two were tangled up late in the third period in <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/connor-mcdavid-faces-automatic-hearing-after-dangerous-and-dirty-incident-per-elliotte-friedman' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>an extended scrap that ended with a cross-check to the face</a> of Garland. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/connor-mcdavid-8478402' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>McDavid</a> was given a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct on the play. <h3>McDavid and the Oilers will not appeal the suspension</h3> <a href='https://clutchpoints.com/oilers-news-connor-mcdavid-appeal-decision-3-game-suspension' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Edmonton Oilers will not appeal the three-game suspension</a> handed to captain Connor McDavid, says TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston. While there was disappointment with the three-game suspension Connor McDavid was levied by NHLPlayerSafety, the oilers captain has decided not to appeal that decision. - Chris Johnston <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1881745875451732238'> </a></blockquote></div> In 2019, he received a two-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of then-New York Islanders defenceman Nick Leddy. The Oilers embark on a six-game homestand starting Tuesday against the Washington Capitals, then face the Canucks in a Thursday rematch. Once McDavid returns to action, fans will really be hoping that he can stay out of the negative press that has been surrounding him lately, and focus more on helping his team climb up the league standings. The Oilers sit second in the Pacific Division with a 29-14-3 record, with 61 points. The star power still remains throughout their lineup, and these three games McDavid will sit out shouldn't be a concern.
