Wilson Drops The Gloves With Pettersson
As the clock was winding down late in the third period, Tom Wilson let his frustration boil over as he grabbed Pittsburgh's Marcus Pettersson and started introducing him to his fists.
It was a relatively modest fight as Pettersson appeared to take a defensive position, trying to keep his head out of Wilson's reach. The Linesmen stepped in before any solid punches could be landed by either player.
Some fans were not particularly happy with Wilson after the fight.

For the record, this was Pettersson's 8th career fight. He most recently fought San Jose's Jonah Gadjovich on January 28th last season. Wilson and the Capitals will be back in action on Monday when they take on the Flames at home.
