Florida's Sandis Vilmanis Leaves Game After a Hit by Washington's Tom Wilson
Wilson received a major penalty and game misconduct after the hit, and Sandis Vilmanis did not return for Florida.
- On Saturday, the Washington Capitals defeated the Florida Panthers 4-3, rallying after Capitals forward Tom Wilson was ejected for a major boarding penalty against Panthers forward Sandis Vilmanis in the first period.
- Wilson struck Vilmanis in the back, sending the 22-year-old headfirst into the boards; Vilmanis, who had recorded his first career two-goal game against Chicago on Wednesday, did not return to the game.
- Brady Tkachuk scored two first-period goals for the Panthers, including one on the extended power play following Wilson's ejection, while Alex Tuch tied the game with his 11th goal of the season in the second period.
- Wilson faces potential league discipline given his 14-year career history of suspensions, including a seven-game ban for boarding Brandon Carlo and six games in 2024 for a stick to the face of Noah Gregor.
- The Panthers travel to face Boston on Sunday, while the Capitals prepare for their next matchup against Ottawa on Tuesday night to maintain momentum following their comeback victory.
