Anaheim Ducks coach Randy Carlyle has complained to the NHL that Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid is receiving “white-glove treatment” from referees.

Carlyle, whose team was assessed the second-most penalty minutes in the league this season, says the Ducks have given video to a league supervisor who oversees officials assigned to the Edmonton-Anaheim series in an attempt to prove their contention.

McDavid, who drew more penalties (38) than any player in the NHL this season, has drawn one in each of the first three games in the second round.

Game 4 was to be played in Edmonton on Wednesday night.

“We all have tape and review infractions on the ice,” Carlyle said. “We think there are situations where people are getting preferential treatment. We have had a conversation with the overseer [of referees] to get an explanation off what’s involved.”
