Tom Wilson may have escaped timed penalty, but not the monetary kind.
The bulldozing Washington Capitals winger received a maximum allowable fine of $2,404 for kneeing Conor Sheary in Game 1 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Friday.
Almost always toeing the line, Wilson drew significant ire for charging through the extended leg of Sheary, who was at a standstill after releasing the puck.
Sheary finished the game, but wasn't at practice Friday along with Chris Kunitz, Matt Cullen, and Bryan Rust.
