Tom Wilson's timely two goals in the third period not only led the Capitals to a comeback victory over the Canadiens but also showcased his resilience following a painful cheek injury.
After being struck by a deflected shot from teammate Jakob Chychrun, Wilson surprisingly returned to the game, illustrating his toughness and dedication. 'Did a couple tests and was good enough to get back out there,' he stated.
Wilson's teammates were shocked at his quick return, particularly goalie Logan Thompson, who remarked, 'If that was me, I don't know if I'd be back in the game.' This highlights the respect Wilson commands.
Despite considerable facial swelling post-game and the pain from his cheek injury, Wilson was focused on the team's success, stating, 'My dad always told me, 'If you're good to play, you play.''
