Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby dropped a very sincere confession about Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid's three-game suspension issued by the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

The Edmonton Oilers would be wise to call the Pittsburgh Penguins for a trade over the next two months. Oilers GM Stan Bowman will be busy working the phones as the NHL trade deadline approaches. The team sits third in the Western Conference and is once again expected to make a healthy run at the Stanley Cup.

The Pittsburgh Penguins travelled to the Seattle Kraken to continue their West Coast road trip. The Kraken were looking to take their third win of their four-game homestand.

Connor McDavid was suspended by the NHL for three games for cross-checking Conor Garland of the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. After being held down on the ice for too long, he hit Garland in the face.

Fair to say that McDavid, who turns 28 today, has lived up to the hype that preceded him. He belongs in that small class of Canadian hockey superheroes who were already national celebrities by 16: among them Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Eric Lindros, Sidney Crosby.
