Tom Wilson Drops the Gloves While Sticking Up for His Teammate

In the second period of the game between the Ottawa Senators and Washington Capitals, chaos broke loose. Senators forward Mark Kastelic came in and laid a big hit on Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin.

Immediately Capitals star forward Tom Wilson came to the defense of his teammate. Wilson and Kastelic ended up dropping the gloves and having one of the best fights of the season so far.

The pair both got some good shots in during the fight. Wilson had more punches thrown overall and probably landed the biggest punch of the fight. Eventually, the referees came in and broke things up.

The game is currently in the second intermission with the Senators up 5-1. On the bright side for Wilson, he is just a goal away from a Gordie Howe hat trick with a period to go. He will look to spark the Capitals and lead a big comeback in the third period.
