Tom Wilson delivered one of the biggest hits of his playoffs career Monday during Game Two against the Boston Bruins.
The Capitals forward caught an unaware Curtis Lazar in the right shoulder sending him airborne into the Bruins bench.

The hit is even more ridiculous when seeing it at ice level. Wilson checked Lazar approximately a foot into the air before the Bruins forward hit the wall and flipped head over heels into his teammates’ laps. It’s incredible.
