Caps' Wilson to meet with league after boarding Blues' Blais

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will meet with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Tuesday regarding his hit on St. Louis Blues forward Sam Blais, the league announced.

Wilson received a major penalty for boarding and was ejected following the hit on the Blues rookie Sunday night.

Tuesday's hearing could result in Wilson facing the dubious distinction of being suspended twice in the span of only a few weeks.

The rugged winger was previously suspended Sept. 23 for two preseason games for a hit on Blues forward Robert Thomas.
