Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson has been suspended six games for a high stick to the face of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Noah Gregor during a 7-3 loss on Wednesday. Wilson received a double minor on the play. "That's a huge impact," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said Friday before the suspension was announced. "I don't need to go into length about what he provides our team from a leadership standpoint, veteran presence standpoint, what he does on the ice. So, huge absence in our lineup." It's the sixth suspension of Wilson's career, all of which have come over the last seven seasons. The veteran has tallied 17 goals and 32 points across 66 games this season, adding 198 hits and 120 penalty minutes to his ledger.
Washington Capitals wingers Alex Ovechkin (lower body) and Tom Wilson (nose) are both game-time decisions for Thursday's game against the visiting Seattle Kraken. Ovechkin was injured in a game against the Hurricanes last Friday but returned to the contest and also played on Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings. Wilson suffered a broken nose in Sunday's game against the Kings but practiced with a full face shield on his helmet Wednesday. It's been a massively disappointing season for Ovechkin, who has scored just eight goals in 38 games, although his 6% shooting rate is less than half of his 12.8% career mark. Wilson has tallied 11 goals and 19 points across 38 contests on the season while bringing his typical physicality with 111 hits and 70 penalty minutes on the campaign.
Washington Capitals right wing Tom Wilson had saved his first career hat trick for his 700th career game, putting three pucks past John Gibson in Thursday's 5-4 win at Anaheim. Two of Wilson's goals came on the power play, and his final tally ended up as the game-winning marker. Before breaking out on Thursday, Wilson had netted only four times this season. Wilson has been off his usual scoring pace in 2023-24, but Thursday's hat trick should do wonders for his confidence. The 29-year-old power forward now sits on 12 points through 20 games, having also logged 60 shots on goal and 57 hits.
Washington Capitals right wing Tom Wilson has signed a big seven-year, $45.5 million extension with the team. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent next offseason, but the Capitals have now locked up the power forward for a very long time. With the new deal, Wilson's cap hit will jump from just below $5.2 million to $6.5 million in 2024-25. The Capitals have put their faith in Wilson despite the 29-year-old coming off an injury-hit season. Wilson skated in just 33 games in 2022-23, registering 13 goals and 20 points. He has notched 295 points (128 goals, 167 assists) in 680 for his entire career, while also tallying 2039 hits.
