The Canucks will now be without Soucy for game 4 and the Oilers will look to capitalize on it.
In addition to Soucy's suspension, Canucks defenseman Nikita Zadorov received a $5,000 fine for cross-checking McDavid moments before the Soucy cross-check.
Vancouver's Nikita Zadorov has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross-checking Edmonton's Connor McDavid.
These are the first bits of supplemental discipline handed out by the NHL this postseason and rightfully so.
