Josh Anderson Delivers Big Message to Tom Wilson in Fiery Moment

The best time of the year is here for hockey fans, as the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing.

For the 1st time since 2010, the Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens are meeting one another in the postseason; the opening game went Washington's way thanks to a 2-goal performance from Alex Ovechkin (including his 1st career postseason OT GWG).

With Game 2 underway tonight from Capital One Arena in Washington DC, Capitals forward Tom Wilson continues to do what he does best - agitate the opposition and goad them into careless penalties.

Montreal forward Josh Anderson had enough of Wilson and cross-checked him to the ice just moments after hitting him from behind, resulting in his being hit with a 2-minute minor.

Somehow, Wilson also ended up with a minor penalty after continuing to jaw with the Habs.

Earlier in the period, Wilson had been throwing his weight around and leveled forward Cole Caufield:

One option that Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis has at his disposal is bruising defenseman Arber Xhekaj, who has been a healthy scratch through the 1st pair of games.

Following yesterday's practice, St. Louis indicated that playing Xhekaj at some point in the series is an option.

Should Tom Wilson continue to be a physical force for the Capitals, the Canadiens could choose to counter him by inserting Xhekaj into the lineup for Game 3 later this week.
