Tom Wilson, a prominent figure among the Capitals' forwards, is known for sparking controversy during hockey games.
With an imposing stature of 6'3" and a weight of 220 lbs, Wilson is unafraid of confrontations, whether they involve rugged players or, surprisingly, goaltenders.
Elvis Merzlikins, the Blue Jackets' goalie, found himself in an unexpected situation, receiving a forceful right hook from Wilson following a scuffle near the goal crease.
The situation took an unforeseen twist when Merzlikins initiated the altercation. However, once Wilson regained his footing, the outcome didn't fare well for the goaltender. Credit goes to the referees for intervening before Wilson could inflict further harm.
