Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson received a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct after a hit from behind Thursday against the Florida Panthers.
Wilson drilled an unsuspecting Brian Campbell into the glass during the third period, leaving the Panthers defenseman with a bloody nose.
Thankfully, Campbell returned to the game minutes later, but not before Aaron Ekblad scored to give the Panthers a 3-0 lead.
