It's time to reset the Tom Wilson controversy clock. Nine games after returning from a lengthy suspension, another one of the Washington Capitals forward's hits has caused a firestorm.
Wilson was ejected from the Capitals' 6-3 win over the New Jersey Devils on Friday night, given a match penalty at 17:39 of the second period for a hit from behind on Devils forward Brett Seney. Although he appeared injured on the play, Seney returned to play 3 minutes and 20 seconds in the third period.
With the Devils pressuring in the Capitals' defensive zone, Seney spun around and sent the puck to the corner.
