Tom Wilson fights Braydon Coburn after the Lightning defenseman rips Evgeny Kuznetsov’s jersey off

The first period of Game Seven was wild. It featured an Alex Ovechkin goal on the first shift. Then we got the full Tom Wilson experience at the tail end of the stanza.

During an Ovechkin chance in front of the net, a scrum broke out between the Capitals and Bolts. That seemed normal. Well, that is until Evgeny Kuznetsov started getting undressed by Braydon Coburn.

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.

Tom Wilson bleeds his own blood after high-sticking Zach Parise

Alex Ovechkin notched his 17th career hat trick, TJ Oshie scored twice (including the game-winning goal), and Braden Holtby joined a great (and Evgeni Nabokov) in the history books. But it was Tom Wilson who made national headlines for pulling a Matt Bradley.

The notoriously and aggressively handsome enforcer went from a GQ model to looking like the star of a gory slasher film after fighting Wild forward Chris Stewart.

Honest Abe Jason Chimera Scores Game-Winning Goal, Bleeds Profusely From Face

Before Wednesday’s game, Jason Chimera, a man with a bunch of pride and a terrible possession score, reportedly said to Pierre McGuire that he doesn’t consider himself a fourth line player. He deserved more minutes, according to Pierre’s telling.

After Wednesday night, it’s hard to argue with him. Chimera scored the game’s only goal: a bizarre deflection in front of the net. And he played much of the game while bleeding from the face.

Tom Wilson Bloodies Knuckles In Brutal 32-Second Fight With Carter Ashton (GIF)

Washington Capitals rookie forward Tom Wilson nearly scored his second career goal in the first period of Friday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. That’s progress, sure, but since Willy Baby couldn’t get his name on the scoresheet, he had to find another way to be remembered: his repeated facepunching of Carter Ashton.

This 32-second skirmish, the ninth of Wilson’s season, left both combatants hurting from blows to the body and head. Wilson cut the knuckles on his left hand after hitting Ashton’s helmet.

Warning: There will be blood.

Video: Matt Bradley Fights Zack Smith After Big Hit, Bleeds

Late in the third period of Ottawa’s 2-0 blanking of the Capitals, Matt Bradley cleaned Senators defenseman Patrick Wiercioch out with what looked to be a legal, open-ice bodycheck. Zach Smith disagreed strongly however, and Bradley was forced to engage the disgruntled center. The two combatants traded multiple punches until Brads lost his balance and Smith wrestled him down to the ice. At some point during the tussle, however, the “paper-thinned” one was cut open and – surprise, surprise – bled all over the ice. As Bradley made his way to the lockerroom, CSN cameras caught a glimpse of him as blood poured down the side of his face. Since we know you guys love grotesque stuff like that, the video is above.

While we have you, we did want to ask what you guys thought of that two minute boarding call Bradley was assessed. As Down Goes Brown author Sean McIndoe correctly observed, Bradley had both of his skates inside the faceoff circle when he delivered the check. It was shoulder to chest. Is there something we’re missing?
