Tom Wilson to have appeal hearing with NHL commissioner on Thursday

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will have his appeal hearing with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday in New York City, according to the NHL Players' Association. Wilson is serving a 20-game suspension from the league’s Department of Player Safety for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist.

The NHL Players' Association filed for an appeal on Wilson’s behalf last Friday, and Bettman’s ruling won’t necessarily signal the end of the process. If Bettman does not lift the ban, Wilson can then choose to appeal to a neutral arbitrator, and players have had more success with that route. Nashville forward Austin Watson recently had his 27-game ban for domestic abuse reduced to 18 games by Shyam Das, the same arbitrator who would rule on Wilson’s case if it gets that far.

In 2016, Dennis Wideman was suspended 20 games for abuse of an official, and a neutral arbitrator then reduced the ban to 10 games. The process took a month and a half, and Wideman had already served 19 games.

[The Caps think Evgeny Kuznetsov is one of the NHL’s best, but he just wants to have fun]

Wilson’s appeal likely will focus on the length of the suspension rather than the legality of his hit on Sundqvist. The Department of Player Safety described Wilson’s fourth suspension in 105 games, including preseason and playoffs, as “an unprecedented frequency of suspensions in the history of the Department of Player Safety,” which is what led to the harsh sentence. Based on the $5.17 million average annual value of Wilson’s contract, he is forfeiting $1.26 million as part of the suspension. The money goes to the players’ emergency assistance fund. If an appeal is successful, he could get some portion of that back.

While Wilson remains out of the lineup, the Capitals are still figuring out who should replace him on the top line beside center Evgeny Kuznetsov and captain Alex Ovechkin. Wilson scored a career-high 14 goals and 21 assists there last season, and through the first four games, Coach Todd Reirden has tried right wing Brett Connolly there. Against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, speedy winger Chandler Stephenson will be in that spot.

“Just the depth of their four lines and the way that they play, I think this lines up better for our four lines matchup-wise for us, and also just looking for someone with a little bit different type of skill-set than Brett has,” Reirden said. “So, now Chandler can get in there on the forecheck and disrupt. They’re a team that you have to force to play defense and make sure you have a really good forecheck if you’re going to shut them down.”

Was hoping to see Bowey dress for this game. I'm interested to see Stephenson on the first line. When Wilson was suspended I would have had Stephenson fill that void before Connolly.

   That's what I thought too. No idea why they moved Connolly up.

I’d forgotten how big Matthews was. He knocks people off the puck and drives thru them. 

And least it looks like we give a shit tonight ..... I’m sorry .... as Craig would say “we’ve got our legs”.

   Reirden is matching Niskanen and Orlov with the 2nd line.

Was an okay first. While the Leafs did hit a few posts and had a few chances, I didn't really think much of it was clean or due to defensive breakdowns. Their D basically plays forward all game, and I thought we did a great job making most of their scoring attempts not even be clean. Matthews missed a few, had a few blocked and even when he finally hit the post it was on a wobbler that Nisky was instantly there to defend. It also hit the outside of the post so it wasn't even remotely close was just a weak bouncer.


I'd say with the statement opening of the game as well as some good hits/overall better defensive coverage that period it's certainly not the New Jersey game again, at least it wasn't that first. Which of course it had to be better, but good to see it was.
