After Sunday’s win over the Washington Capitals, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy defended Capitals winger Tom Wilson, who administered a hit that some deemed questionable against Boston’s Sean Kuraly.
Cassidy described the play as incidental, noting that Kuraly appeared to be on his way down as Wilson approached. Kuraly was battling for the puck with two Washington players when he began to fall, and Wilson himself appeared to tumble over Kuraly as he skated through.
“There’s not much you can do once a guy starts tumbling down,” Cassidy said.
