Tyler Myers, of the Vancouver Canucks, was fined $2,500 by the NHL Department of Safety for slashing Connor McDavid during Vancouver’s 3-1 loss to Edmonton. The incident occurred at 8:25 of the third period as McDavid moved toward the net without the puck; no on-ice penalty was called for the slash, though Myers was later assessed a delay-of-game penalty in the frame.

The DPS ruling signals the league’s ongoing emphasis on limiting dangerous stickwork against elite players. For fantasy and betting, the discipline can influence matchup dynamics and post-call rosters in upcoming games, potentially shifting minutes and line focus.
