Suspension incoming for Carson Soucy for cross checking McDavid's face
It looks like there's a suspension incoming for Vancouver Canucks' defenseman Carson Soucy for his cross check on Connor McDavid's face in last night's game.
If you missed it, an incident that occured after the final whistle of game 3 between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers caused a big stir in the hockey community.
Behind the Canucks' net, McDavid slashed Soucy, then chaos ensues. Nikita Zadorov came in from behind to cross check McDavid in the back, but at the same time, Soucy was already in motion to cross check McDavid. It ended with McDavid getting cross crocked in the face by Soucy.
