The NHL rescinded the game misconduct Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> received Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers<\/a>, the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> star told The Denver Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a power play late in the second period, MacKinnon went hard to the net as Brock Nelson<\/a> sent him a pass. As MacKinnon tipped the puck wide, Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse<\/a> dived into him, with Nurse’s head connecting on MacKinnon’s hip. MacKinnon barreled into Oilers goalie Connor Ingram<\/a>, knocking him to the ice. Ingram skated off on his own with a cut on his forehead but did not return to the game.<\/p>\n

The officials gave MacKinnon a major penalty for interference on the goaltender and upheld that call after video review.<\/p>\n

That decision drew the ire of the Avs after the 4-3 home loss, as they contested MacKinnon wasn’t able to avoid Ingram because of the Nurse hit.<\/p>\n

“I think [general manager Chris MacFarland] asked them to review it, from what I know, and they took it away,” MacKinnon told the Post. “Mistakes happen.”<\/p>\n

Because of the NHL’s reversal, MacKinnon no longer will receive an automatic one-game suspension if he receives another game misconduct this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mar 12, 2026, 07:38 PM ET The NHL rescinded the game misconduct Nathan MacKinnon received Tuesday against the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-521018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
