by from on (#3P7E3)
Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will have a hearing Wednesday for his check to the head of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Zach Aston-Reese, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.
In Game 3 Tuesday, and for the second straight contest, Wilson delivered a questionable hit, this time to Aston-Reese at the midway point of the second period. Wilson was not assessed a penalty on the play, but the hit left Aston-Reese with a broken jaw and a concussion.
In Game 2, Wilson hit Brian Dumoulin with what appeared to be a head shot, but avoided any discipline after the league determined Dumoulin had turned at the last minute.
