Video: Tom Wilson Lays Dirty Hit on Brandon Carlo, Fights Twice Afterwards

When you play on the edge like Washington Capital Tom Wilson sometimes you have to defend yourself. Friday night Wilson was in for a treat as he had to drop the gloves twice against the Boston Bruins.

Wilson's night of terror initially started with a dirty hit on Bruins defender Brandon Carlo which looked like a brutal head shot into the boards. Carlo's teammates would take exception and it was just the beginning for Wilson.

The Caps power forward threw hands with newly minted Bruin Jarred Tinordi in the second period and then once the game was out of reach for the Caps, dropped the mitts with Trent Frederic.

While the Capitals lost the game 5-1, Wilson won both of his scraps.

Here's how his night went down:
