Washington Capitals forward, Tom Wilson, made plenty of headlines during his first-round series against the Montreal Canadiens.

Two particular moments really drew attention to him.
First, there was what happened Friday night at the Bell Centre, specifically on the Capitals' bench (notably involving Josh Anderson).
But secondly, and both Alex Ovechkin and Anthony Beauvillier brought it up again last night after the game, there was that infamous hit on Alexandre Carrier.
Most experts and players agree that it was the turning point of the entire series.
Not only did the Capitals tie the game on that sequence, but Wilson also knocked one of the Canadiens' best defensemen, Alexandre Carrier, out of the game.
But did he really knock him out of the game?

The truth just came out regarding Tom Wilson and what happened Sunday night in Montreal with Alexandre Carrier

According to top journalist Simon-Olivier Lorange from La Presse, that persistent rumor is false.
It wasn't even Tom Wilson's hit that injured Alexandre Carrier. Wow!
It was actually a hard missed hit by Alex Ovechkin.
Interesting!
"Contrary to what was believed, it wasn't Tom Wilson's hit that jeopardized Alexandre Carrier's availability for Game 5, but rather Alex Ovechkin's hit that he avoided.

After Wednesday's game, Carrier had a thick bandage around his left ankle."

- Simon-Olivier Lorange
Carrier even found a new way to impress us last night, delivering a great performance despite everything!
A real warrior!
