Zach Aston-Reese suffered a broken jaw that will require surgery, as well as a concussion from a hit delivered by Tom Wilson during Game 3, Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan announced.

George Parros, who declined to suspend Wilson after a high hit in Game 2, was in attendance Tuesday and will likely be speaking to the Washington forward prior to Game 4.
