In the third period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Wilson delivered a check to Vegas winger Jonathan Marchessault, who'd already gotten rid of the puck.
The perceived lateness of the hit had the Golden Knights calling for a league review after the game.
I’d never heard this before.. but after the game on NHL Network, Mike Rupp said the league thinks a “late” hit is .8 seconds after the puck is passed, and the Wilson hit was .75
— Christian Schaffer (@schafferwmar) May 29, 2018Suspended three games in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for an illegal hit on Pittsburgh forward Zach Aston-Reese, Wilson would be considered a repeat offender. This blow, however, came under different circumstances, only controversial because of the timing of the hit, rather than where it was administered on the body.
