Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is not expected to receive any additional discipline for his hit on Los Angeles Kings striker Adrian Kempe.
This comes as no surprise.
97 has no history with hits from behind. Did not take a long run on Kempe. No injury to Kempe, who scored on subsequent PP.
The real call was made by officials on the ice. Move on. https://t.co/qIx337fRfM– Mark Spector (@SportsnetSpec) December 6, 2021
While fighting for the puck in the corner at the Kings end, McDavid put a shoulder in the back of Kempe, who hit his face first against the glass, at 13:27 of the third period, and the score 2-1 to LA McDavid was issued a major and a game of abuse, and sent to the locker room.

On the resulting five-minute powerplay, the Kings scored three goals to put the game out of reach.
Kempe, who was shaken and bloody at the game, later returned to the game and scored the first of the three power-play goals with McDavid off.

McDavid, who is Edmonton’s (and the league’s) leading scorer with 16 goals and 26 assists for 42 points in 22 games, had 10 minutes in penalty kicks before Sunday’s game.
