In today's news, the NHL's top player, Connor McDavid, is in hot water over a dirty elbow to his opponent's head. In last night's contest against the Minnesota Wild, Edmonton Oilers phenom Connor McDavid threw an elbow to Marcus Johansson's head, <a href='https://dailyhive.com/edmonton/fine-oilers-mcdavid-elbowed-wild-player' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a hit that will likely be looked at by NHL Player Safety</a>. In this clip, McDavid simply ran his elbow into Johansson's head as he was skating past him well away from the play. No penalty was called on the play. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HockeyDaily365/status/1879732420200857654'> </a></blockquote></div> The contact did appear to be minimal, but Johansson nonetheless left the game with an injury and did not return. <h3>NHL analyst believes Connor McDavid will be fined and suspended</h3> According to 'The Athletic', Oilers <a href='https://x.com/DNBsports' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>analyst Daniel Nugent-Bowman</a> says McDavid could be looking at a $5,000 fine, especially since an injury occurred on the play. He could also be in line for a one-game suspension, as avoidable head contact that results in injury is a fairly serious offense. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DNBsports/status/1879733970663039217'> </a></blockquote></div> At this moment, some fans in Minnesota are already calling for a suspension, but a fine seems likelier given how light the hit was and considering McDavid's otherwise clean record. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Feeling_MN75/status/1879745025732649397'> </a></blockquote></div> Setting aside the controversial play, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/connor-mcdavid-8478402' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>McDavid</a> was a powerhouse in Edmonton's win with two goals and an assist, including another highlight-reel moment. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1879744512693788993'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-forward-connor-mcdavid-forced-to-leave-game-against-the-blue-jackets-due-to-lower-body-injury' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Losing their captain</a> even briefly would be a huge blow to the Oilers, but this could be a chance for NHL Player Safety to make an example out of him. <B>Update:</b> NHL insider Frank Seravalli has confirmed there will not be any further discipline on McDavid. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1879919746751287319'> </a></blockquote></div>
