The fallout from Tom Wilson’s cheap shot on Brandon Carlo Friday night continued less than 24 hours after Boston’s 5-1 win over Washington.
Before the Bruins touched the ice for practice at Warrior Ice Arena, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced an in-person hearing for Wilson on Saturday evening. As part of the league’s CBA, Wilson will sit for at least five games as a result of his late and unnecessary hit on Carlo.
As he spent time in a local hospital, the tight-knit Bruins came together for one of their defining wins of the 2021 campaign.
