Tom Wilson completes full practice for Capitals, but playoff status unclear

Tom Wilson was able to complete a full practice on Tuesday for the first time since he took a puck to the head in the Washington Capitals‘ victory over the Detroit Red Wings on April 5.

Wilson was attempting to lay out and block a shot by Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser with 6:18 remaining in the game when the puck hit him in the back right of the helmet, leaving a slight crack. He missed the Capitals‘ final two games of the regular season and only returned to practice for the first time on Monday, spending the first 30 minutes of the hour-long session on the ice.
