The Flyers can walk a little taller Thursday night as they take on the Washington Capitals without having to worry about Tom Wilson running wild. Wilson was suspended this weekend for a brutal hit to the head of Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo. The Caps will be without Wilson for seven games, including Thursday and Saturday night’s matchups with the Flyers.
