Capitals' Wilson limps off ice vs. Blackhawks with apparent leg injury

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson limped off the ice during the first period of Saturday's tilt against the Chicago Blackhawks following a collision with Connor Murphy.

Wilson grabbed at his right leg after falling to the ice. Trainers assisted him down the tunnel and he missed the remainder of the game, which Chicago won 3-2 in a shootout.

Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said he doesn't believe Wilson's injury is "too bad" but he'll undergo further evaluation Sunday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Wilson entered the contest leading the Capitals with 22 goals and 42 points in 40 games. He was named to Canada's Olympic team Wednesday.
