After missing multiple weeks of action due to COVID-19, Alex Edler will miss the next two games.
The NHL has suspended the Vancouver Canucks defenceman two games for kneeing Toronto Maple Leafs forward Zach Hyman. The incident occurred midway through the second period of Sunday night’s game, resulting in Edler receiving a major penalty and a game misconduct.
Hyman left the game and didn’t return, after the knee-on-knee contact. Edler was fatigued, caught on the ice for a three-minute shift, and hung his leg out to get a piece of the Leafs forward who made a move to get around him.
