Bad news for the Capitals' pest, Tom Wilson. He will have to undergo surgery for a torn knee ligament and will be out for at least six months.
In the best of worlds, he'll be back in the game in November, if not, it'll be the following month.
The injury occurred in the series against the Florida Panthers.
Wilson had an outstanding season offensively with 52 points, including 24 goals. He was limited to one game in the playoffs and still scored a goal.
