#Canucks    Carson Soucy has been suspended 1 game by @NHLPlayerSafety for his cross-check of Connor McDavid at the end of Game 3.

He will be eligible to return in Game 5 on Thursday night.

The absence of Soucy presents a notable advantage for the Oilers, given the defensive pairings shuffle, as he's a key shutdown defenseman for the Canucks. They'll have to depend on other players in his absence.
