The Canucks-Oilers series has been as physical and emotional as expected, but on Sunday night, that may have gone a step too far after the game. While the Vancouver Canucks may have taken a crucial 2-1 lead in their series on Sunday night, it may cost them as Carson Soucy has to face the NHL's Department of Player Safety after this move; <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1790033450881180121'> </a></blockquote></div> While Connor McDavid certainly wasn't innocent in this incident, it certainly didn't justify this type of act from Carson Soucy, with the hulking defenseman officially suspended for one game. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlplayersafety/status/1790123546426941896'> </a></blockquote></div> This now leaves Vancouver without one of their key defenseman that have been able to somewhat shut down this Oilers line as they have the opportunity to go up 3-1 in a series against a very talented Edmonton team. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/CanucksArmy/status/1789875128672584167'> </a></blockquote></div> Sure, Soucy's efforts certainly weren't helped by Nikita Zadorov's involvement as it saw the cross-check delivered right to the face of McDavid, but it wasn't a necessary play at all. The Canucks had the upper hand physically on the Oilers all night long, and could have left with a 2-1 series lead, but now they're short handed, with this potentially being the turning point in what will end up being a long, long series.
