A Tom Wilson cheapshot knocked Brandon Carlo out of Friday night’s Boston Bruins-Washington Capitals matchup in the first period.

Carlo was skating after the puck near the boards when Wilson drilled the 6-foot-5 B’s defenseman in the head and into the glass with his shoulder. Jakob Vrana got a couple of cross-checks in on Carlo as he went down with the injury.
