Report: Capitals' Wilson won't be disciplined for hit on Islanders' Visnovsky

Tom Wilson's name has been in the news a lot and not for the right reasons.

Sure, the Washington Capitals forward loves his teammates, but it was his hit on New York Islanders defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky that's gotten the press.

Despite the brutality of the check, which has left Visnovsky's status for Game 5 uncertain, the forward will not face any supplementary discipline, ESPN's Katie Strang reports.

The loss of Visnovsky thins out an already depleted blue line for the Islanders in their crucial postseason matchup with the Capitals.
