Washington Capital irritant Tom Wilson won’t be having a hearing for his obvious late hit on Vegas Golden Knights’ forward Jonathan Marchessault during their Game 1 matchup in the Stanley Cup final on Monday.
Marchessault briefly exited the game and went through concussion protocol but was not injured on the play, and Vegas would go on to take Game 1 6-4.
Wilson followed through after Marchessault had moved the puck resulting in a 2-minute minor for interference.
Here is the play in question, which sparked plenty of debate on social media:
