For the second straight game, a borderline hit from Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson has stoked the flames of the rivalry between the Caps and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Wilson's second-period hit on Penguins defenseman Zach Aston-Reese in Washington's Game 3 win has left Aston-Reese with a concussion and a broken jaw that will require surgery.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Wilson dove his shoulder into Aston-Reese with those on the Pittsburgh side believing Wilson's point of contact was with Aston-Reese's head, while the Caps claim it was an unfortunate hit aimed at a shoulder.
