Brendan Smith counter hit makes Tom Wilson bleed his own blood

Tom Wilson is usually the guy who delivers devastating hits. But Friday against the Hurricanes, he got dropped by a perfect Brendan Smith counter hit.

The Hurricanes defenseman, making his grand return this week from a scary injury, caught Wilson with his shoulder as the enforcer went for a huge hit along the boards. Wilson crumpled to the ice in stunning fashion as the PNC Arena crowd roared.

The hit came with 3:15 remaining in the first period.

Stop hitting Tom Wilson in the face, y’all: An open letter to the Devils and Penguins

Tom Wilson is one of the most divisive players in the National Hockey League for many reasons, but one thing that everyone–be they Capitals fans, hockey fans, or merely art appreciators–can agree on is that he’s handsome.

On Saturday, the New Jersey Devils hit Tom in his very fine face almost as many times as their pucks hit the Capitals net.

Sunday against the Penguins, some (as of yet unidentified) incident caused Wilson to bleed so much on the front of his jersey they made him go to the locker room to get a clean one.

Andrej Sustr’s visor broke during a fight with Miles Wood. He needed over 15 stitches to close the cuts on his face.

In 2013, the NHL introduced a rule that made helmet visors mandatory for all new players coming into the league. NHL officials would also begin accessing minor penalties to players who take off their helmets during fights. But, in a dangerous sport like hockey, those rules don’t universally prevent head injuries. And on Saturday night, a visor caused an even worse injury during a fight.

During the Tampa Bay Lightning’s game against the New Jersey Devils, Andrej Sustr’s visor broke in half after being punched in the face by Miles Wood.

Sustr was lucky to not receive any serious damage to his eye, but left the arena with over 15 stitches.
