"While chasing a loose puck in the offensive zone, Wilson absorbed a counter hit from Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy. As Wilson fell to the ice, his right leg got caught underneath him along the boards. The Capitals' alternate captain immediately grabbed at his lower leg and slowly limped off the ice. Wilson then needed help down the tunnel from the team's training staff, which was most concerning of all."
"Wilson played just 5:55 of ice time before being forced back to the locker room. Almost his entire first period against the Blackhawks was pain-filled, as earlier in the game, he was sticked in the nether regions by defenseman Louis Crevier. After dropping to the ice, Wilson made his slow way back to the bench, where he banged his stick several times and screamed at the on-ice officials for not penalizing Crevier for his misplaced stick."

His right leg became caught along the boards, he grabbed it and limped off, then required assistance from the team's training staff. Wilson did not return for the rest of the first period and was listed as questionable to start the second. He logged only 5:55 of ice time. Earlier he was sticked by Louis Crevier and angrily confronted officials. Wilson leads Washington with 42 points in 40 games and was named to Team Canada’s Olympic roster.
