Tom Wilson has always been known for being a physical presence on the ice. Tonight he used that physicality to stick up for a teammate after a nasty hit.
Wilson Gets Into A Scrap Defending His Teammate
Tom Wilson made his presence known tonight in a game between the Capitals and Senators. After Mark Kastelic laid a huge hit on Wilson's teammate Rasmus Sandin he stepped in to defend Sandin.
Mark Kastelic collides with Rasmus Sandin in the corner, and Tom Wilson makes him answer for it.
Both players got a few good punches in before the referees stepped in. This is Wilson's first notable fight of the season of which he will likely have many more. The Senators are controlling the game as of now though up 5-1 after 2 periods.
Wilson has an assist on the Capitals only goal meaning he is just a goal away from a Gordie Howe hat trick.
