Tom Wilson showed his toughness on Saturday as the Washington Capitals beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-2. Wilson scored two third-period goals, leading the Capitals' comeback despite taking a puck to the face earlier in the game.
Sportsnet shared his post-game interview, where his humor and grit stood out. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman humorously referenced the incident by sharing a clip of Wilson’s post-game interview, calling him:
“The guy with the mangled face.”
After the game, Tom Wilson spoke about his injury.
“It doesn’t look so hot,” he said, referring to his swollen face.
Despite missing key players like Alex Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie, the Capitals fought hard for their ninth straight road win. Wilson credited the team’s effort and explained how his father’s advice helped him push through.
