Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid wasn't too pleased about the hit he took into the net from Anaheim Ducks defenseman Drew Helleson. But is McDavid's response a bit of an overreaction?
The Hockey News argues that Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid likely overreacted after Anaheim Ducks defenseman Drew Helleson drove him into the net. McDavid expressed frustration after the Oilers' 5-4 loss on Thursday, calling the play dangerous and sensitive due to past injuries.

While recognizing McDavid's perspective as a frequent target, the outlet notes that high-speed collisions often look worse than intended. The report concludes that Helleson will not face supplemental discipline and considers the clash a routine NHL play.
