The NHL decided against having a hearing for Tom Wilson following his hit on Lubomir Visnovsky that injured the Islanders defenseman in the second period of Game 4. The Caps’ forward charged Visnovsky going back to the penalty box. Unfortunately, Visnovsky didn’t return playing only 7:50 in 10 shifts.

The Islanders aren’t too happy with Wilson. Kyle Okposo called him “an idiot.” Isles’ captain John Tavares said, “we could’ve hit their guys like that but we play within the rules.”

With Visnovsky unlikely for Game 5 tomorrow, Isles’ coach Jack Capuano hasn’t indicated if Griffin Reinhart will make his playoff debut if Visnovsky can’t go. However, he said there’s a “real good chance” Mikhail Grabovski plays Thursday.

The former Cap who signed with the Isles last summer missed the final two months due to a concussion. A play making pivot, he could add some needed offense. With goals hard to come by, he’d be a good addition to the lineup. If he plays, figure him to slot in for Tyler Kennedy on the third line.
