Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will not receive a suspension following his hit on Florida Panthers forward Sandis Vilmanis, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Wilson was assessed a five-minute boarding major and a game misconduct during Washington's 4-3 victory over Florida on November 7.
Vilmanis sustained an upper-body injury from the hit from behind and subsequently missed Sunday's game against Boston, remaining day-to-day. Wilson will be eligible to play when the Capitals host the Panthers in a rematch at Capital One Arena on Black Friday, November 27.
