Tonight's game between the Washington Capitals and the Toronto Maple Leafs took an unexpected turn when Tom Wilson found himself at the center of controversy.

At the 12:15 mark of the third period, Wilson was penalized for a high stick against the Maple Leafs Noah Gregor. The incident, which resulted in Wilson receiving a double minor penalty, might land him in deeper trouble due to his history as a repeat offender.

The NHL Player Safety is set to review the play, with the potential for further disciplinary action looming over Wilson.

Despite the rough play, Gregor appeared to escape serious injury, though he might be counting a few teeth short after the encounter.

Unfortunately for the Capitals, the night ended in disappointment, with the team falling to the Maple Leafs 7-3. As the league awaits the official decision on Wilson's play, fans and players alike are left to ponder the consequences of a moment that could have significant implications for both teams.
