Tom Wilson is taking his anger out on the New York Islanders after Anders Lee injured Nicklas Backstrom on Wednesday.
In the first period of Game Two, Wilson was credited with eight (!!!) hits, including three on the same shift.
“It’s the hockey that people love to watch and the hockey we love to play,” Wilson said ahead of the game.
