Overview
- Player Safety announced the one-game suspension on Tuesday after holding a same-day hearing.
- The department said McMann was in full control of his stick and struck the head with sufficient force to warrant supplemental discipline, noting he has no prior history.
- The ban sidelines McMann for Toronto’s next game on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks.
- The incident occurred in the third period after Gage Goncalves received a five-minute major and game misconduct for kneeing Dakota Mermis, which set off a center-ice scrum.
- McMann was assessed a match penalty and ejected on the play, and there was no announced hearing for Goncalves at the time of the earlier reports.
