Connor McDavid Gets a Nasty Check to The Back and Feels Every bit of it
The Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers are both teams competing to win the Pacific Division.
It took Vegas beating them in overtime to win this one, but during the battle, tensions flared between Connor McDavid and Brayden McNabb.
It's all well and good to finish your checks if they're clean but this is a dirty move on a star player. Here you can see for no reason in particular he cross-checks McDavid in the numbers.
If anyone was to follow up on this lack of respect for the "code" I'd have expected Evander Kane, but Draisaitl would end up retaliating in defense of McDavid with a hit on McNabb on the boards.
We are entering playoff hockey where rules become fast and loose and even star players will have to look out for star players.
