Vancouver Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers was suspended three games for his aggressive cross check on Evan Bouchard, and while trying to defend himself, offered a lacklustre explanation.

The suspension comes after Tyler Myers cross-checked Evan Bouchard in Vancouver's game against the Edmonton Oilers.

The Vancouver Canucks secured the 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, but they may have lost a defenceman in the process.
