Not the face: Tom Wilson needed his nose realigned after board by Ian Cole

Tom Wilson required some, um, adjustments on the bench after taking this hit from behind by Penguins defenseman Ian Cole.

As the Capitals tried to chip the puck out of the defensive zone, Ian Cole pinched and boarded Tom Wilson head-first into the glass.

Wilson was dazed and slow to get up.

Back on the bench, athletic trainer Greg Smith gave particular attention to Wilson’s sinus area.

Thankfully, Wilson returned to the ice shortly after.

There was somehow no penalty on the play.
