Connor McDavid found himself at the center of controversy during the Oilers’ 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. The superstar delivered an elbow to Marcus Johansson, leaving fans debating whether it was intentional or just a hard play gone wrong.
Adding fuel to the fire, Johansson sold the hit with an extreme dive, but no penalty was called on the play.
Now the question is: will McDavid face supplemental discipline and receive the maximum $5,000 fine from the NHL?

Donair Nation 2025 needed
If Foligno did this to Mcdavid he's getting 5 mins and a suspension
This looks like one of those scammers that jumps on the hood of a car and says they got hit
don't care about the strength of the blow it's an elbow to the head suspension territory not fine teritory
Yeah I agree it needed to be a penalty against 97 but it did look like he over acted not saying it didn't hurt but to react to lay down like you got hit major, like he wasn't bleeding idk that's just me
The sweeds flop big time
A little elbow or a big elbow…it's still a 'sneaky' elbow. Penalty warranted!! As for these blogger's. Go change your diaper.
Did Johansson return to the game ?
Shouldn't be a suspension. Should've been a penalty.
But it also might be the single lightest elbow I've ever seen.
Mcdavid did bring his elbow up a bit as he stole Johanssons stick, but the theatrics of Jo are stupid. He should also get penalized fir trying to sell that "injury".
The kick on Draisaitl was a kick to the shin. That was intentional.
If it happened to Mcdirty youd be the first to warrent a suspension
The People’s Elbow!!
Nobody really listens to you guys,,, correct .. except OILYS … and neither one of you play hockey .. …or you mean when Pens played Oilers and lost 5 to 3 and McDavid was picked by Bryan Rust and dropped like he was shot out of a cannon … 😎
Mcbaby will get away without a suspension. Fine is just pointless here.
Bottom line, if it happened to him, you all would be out of your minds.
Sneaky elbow. Intentional. Wipe the oil from all your glasses.
