Bruins winger Anton Blidh will miss the rest of Thursday’s game against the Capitals after absorbing a brutal — but seemingly clean — hit from Capitals forward Tom Wilson.
Wilson, who has a controversial reputation and has tangled with the Bruins before, approached Blidh controlling the puck near the goal. As Blidh got rid of the puck, Wilson leveled him. Blidh hit the ice and stayed down on his stomach briefly before rolling over on his back. He was brought to the tunnel.
Here’s a look at the play.
The Bruins later ruled Blidh out for the rest of the game with an upper-body injury.
