Vancouver Canucks forward Zack MacEwen has been suspended for one game after kneeing Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse in the Canucks 6-3 win on Thursday night.
In the middle of the second period, MacEwen and Nurse collided, and while Nurse was on the ice, MacEwen then skated past him and directed his knee towards Nurse’s head and upper body.
