       Washington Capitals' Tom Wilson gets in-person hearing for hit
       on Boston Bruins' Brandon Carlo

       Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will have a hearing with
       the NHL department of player safety for a hit that sent Boston
       Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo to the hospital on Friday night.
       While there are no "in-person" hearings due to COVID-19, Wilson
       was technically offered one on Saturday. While phone hearings
       typically indicate that the NHL is considering a suspension of
       five games or less, an "in person" hearing means it's
       considering one of a greater length.
       Wilson is the NHL's player safety lightning rod. From September
       2017 to October 2018, he was suspended four times for illegal
       hits in a 105-game span, culminating in a 20-game suspension for
       a hit to the head of St. Louis forward Oskar Sundqvist that was
       eventually reduced to 14 games by an arbitrator.
