Capitals' Tom Wilson Suspended 6 Games for High-Sticking Incident

The NHL's decision marks Wilson's sixth career suspension, intensifying scrutiny over his record of on-ice conduct.

Washington Capitals' Tom Wilson has been suspended for six games due to a high-sticking incident involving Toronto Maple Leafs' Noah Gregor.
This suspension is tied for the longest handed out by the NHL this season, reflecting Wilson's history of disciplinary issues.
Wilson's absence poses a significant challenge for the Capitals as they vie for a playoff spot, missing key games against direct competitors.
Wilson's career suspensions and fines have cost him over $1.4 million, highlighting the financial impact of his on-ice actions.
Despite the suspension, Wilson has the option to appeal, first to the NHL Commissioner and potentially to a neutral arbitrator.
