NHL Fines Canucks’ Tyler Myers $2,500 for Slash on Connor McDavid

The ruling came after an uncalled third-period incident, leaving him eligible for Vancouver’s next game.

Overview

  • The NHL Department of Player Safety announced the fine on Sunday morning.
  • The contact occurred at 8:25 of the third period when Myers put his stick between McDavid’s legs, and no penalty was called on the play.
  • Later in the period, Myers took a delay-of-game minor for flipping the puck over the glass.
  • This is Myers’ third NHL fine and he has three prior three-game suspensions, with reported career fines now totaling $12,500.
  • In a separate action Sunday, NHL Player Safety fined Utah’s Ian Cole $2,500 for a dangerous trip on Nashville’s Steven Stamkos.
