The Washington Capitals met up with the New York Rangers for the final time this regular season in what very well may have been the most viewed hockey game of the entire year. Of course, the story entering this game had nothing to do with the actual hockey being played. Everyone had their eyes on what would happen with Tom Wilson after his attack on Rangers’ superstar, Artemi Panarin.
Wilson received a $5,000 fine for the incident (actually it was for his roughing on Pavel Buchnevich seconds earlier), which many believed was not enough for the repeat offender.
