LAS VEGAS -- Capitals forward Tom Wilson will not be suspended for his controversial hit on Golden Knights winger Jonathan Marchessault in the third period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, the NHL Department of Player Safety told ESPN.
With the score tied 4-4, Wilson laid out Marchessault with an open-ice hit after the Knights forward had already moved the puck up ice.
Marchessault, the Knights' leading scorer in the playoffs, remained on the ice after the hit and then entered the NHL concussion protocol. He later returned to the game.
