Washington Capitals winger Tom Wilson has been offered an in-person hearing with the NHL's Department of Player safety.
Wilson was ejected from Sunday's preseason game against the St. Louis Blues for an illegal check to the head on Oskar Sundqvist. After the hit, Sundqvist laid motionless on the ice and had to be helped off it.
The in-person hearing means the NHL can suspend Wilson for six or more games. The time and date of the hearing -- and whether Wilson will elect to have it in-person -- have yet to be determined.
