Tonight's game between the Washington Capitals and the Toronto Maple Leafs took an unexpected turn when Tom Wilson found himself at the center of controversy.
At the 12:15 mark of the third period, Wilson was penalized for a high stick against the Maple Leafs Noah Gregor. The incident, which resulted in Wilson receiving a double minor penalty, might land him in deeper trouble due to his history as a repeat offender.
Despite the rough play, Gregor appeared to escape serious injury, though he might be counting a few teeth short after the encounter.
Unfortunately for the Capitals, the night ended in disappointment, with the team falling to the Maple Leafs 7-3. As the league awaits the official decision on Wilson's play, fans and players alike are left to ponder the consequences of a moment that could have significant implications for both teams.
