The Edmonton Oilers will play the next three games without superstar captain Connor McDavid after the NHL suspended him for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland on Saturday.

Conor Garland had two goals Monday night, and J.T. Miller and Pius Suter also scored to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2. Tyler Myers added an empty-net goal, and Kevin Lankinen made 24 saves for the Canucks.
