Caps' Tom Wilson Fined For Knee Hit To Pens' Sheary
WASHINGTON (AP) - The NHL has fined Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson $2,404 for his knee-on-knee hit that temporarily knocked Pittsburgh forward Conor Sheary out of Game 1.
Wilson sent Sheary to the ice with his left knee 4 minutes into the third period of the Capitals' 4-3 overtime victory Thursday night. Sheary hobbled to the nearby bench in pain and missed a few shifts. Wilson was not penalized and he escaped a suspension, too.
