The NHL suspended Edmonton Oilers superstar forward Connor McDavid for two games Friday for his illegal check to the head of New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy.
McDavid's infraction occurred during the Oilers' 4-3 overtime win against the Islanders on Thursday. He was assessed a two-minute minor penalty after contacting Leddy's head with his shoulder.
McDavid will be eligible to return to the lineup for Edmonton's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.
