Capitals' Tom Wilson to have in-person hearing for high hit on Bruins' Brandon Carlo

Wilson hit Carlo near the head area with time winding down in the first period. Carlo did not return to the game and was transported to a local hospital by ambulance. 

Even though Wilson has a reputation for being a dirty player, the veteran winger did not receive a penalty for the high hit. Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette didn't see anything wrong with the hit, saying it "just looked like a hard hit in the corner."

It's unclear if Wilson will be fined, suspended or a combination of both. He was suspended four times from September 2017 to October 2018 for illegal hits in a 105-game span. The 26-year-old has not been suspended since 2018 and is no longer considered a repeat offender under the department's rules. 

Phone hearings typically indicate the NHL is considering a suspension of five games or fewer, while in-person means it's considering one of greater length.
