Tom Wilson is under scrutiny once again.
The Washington Capitals winger was on the giving end of another crushing check during Game 3 against Pittsburgh, this time at Zach Aston-Reese's expense.
Aston-Reese left the ice bleeding while throwing his glove into the bench. Wilson did not receive a penalty on the play.
Wilson caught Brian Dumoulin with a high hit in Game 2 that also went unpenalized in any fashion.
Interestingly, NHL Department of Player Safety head George Parros was in the building for Game 3, and may be in contact with Wilson afterward.
Aston-Reese was not on the ice to begin the third period.
