Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson will have a hearing Wednesday for his check to the head of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Zach Aston-Reese, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.

In Game 3 Tuesday, and for the second straight contest, Wilson delivered a questionable hit, this time to Aston-Reese at the midway point of the second period. Wilson was not assessed a penalty on the play, but the hit left Aston-Reese with a broken jaw and a concussion.

In Game 2, Wilson hit Brian Dumoulin with what appeared to be a head shot, but avoided any discipline after the league determined Dumoulin had turned at the last minute.

Winnipeg, Manitoba is rarely mentioned as a destination that needs to be on your vacation itinerary. But anyone who's traveled to the hockey-mad city to witness the hometown Jets take the ice at Bell MTS Place knows it's a true spectacle of sport - especially in the playoffs.

For everyone who couldn't make the trip to southern Manitoba, here are some of the best photos and clips from the Jets' 7-4 smackdown of the Nashville Predators in Game 3.

The game, the crowd, the atmosphere - Tuesday night was a special one for the Winnipeg whiteout.

The calm before the storm.

Two CF-18 Hornets from the Royal Canadian Air Force helped get the crowd fired up before puck drop.

Apparently, the Jets faithful got the memo about the all-white attire.

Yeah, that atmosphere looks like a little bit of fun.

What's a postseason hockey game without crushing a few cold ones?

Make sure the sound is on and up for this clip of Dustin Byfuglien's go-ahead goal. Seems just a wee bit rowdy at Bell MTS Place.

Speaking of Big Buff, he had one of the best postseason games of his career, notching two goals and an assist.

Head to toe, hockey heads in Winnipeg are doing it right.

Blake Wheeler's game-winning goal in the third period sealed the victory for the Jets on a ridiculously raucous night in the Peg.

Zach Aston-Reese suffered a broken jaw that will require surgery, as well as a concussion from a hit delivered by Tom Wilson during Game 3, Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan announced.

The check was delivered during the second period; Aston-Reese was bloodied and skated off to the locker room in obvious frustration, while Wilson was not penalized.

Sullivan and Capitals coach Barry Trotz had different takes on the hit:

George Parros, who declined to suspend Wilson after a high hit in Game 2, was in attendance Tuesday and will likely be speaking to the Washington forward prior to Game 4.

Tom Wilson is under scrutiny once again.

The Washington Capitals winger was on the giving end of another crushing check during Game 3 against Pittsburgh, this time at Zach Aston-Reese's expense.

Aston-Reese left the ice bleeding while throwing his glove into the bench. Wilson did not receive a penalty on the play.

Wilson caught Brian Dumoulin with a high hit in Game 2 that also went unpenalized in any fashion.

Interestingly, NHL Department of Player Safety head George Parros was in the building for Game 3, and may be in contact with Wilson afterward.

Aston-Reese was not on the ice to begin the third period.

The Minnesota Wild have extended their search for a new general manager.

According to The Athletic's Michael Russo, John Ferguson Jr., who serves as the Boston Bruins' director of player personnel, spent Tuesday in Minnesota interviewing with Wild owner Craig Leipold and president Matt Majka.

On Wednesday, New Jersey Devils assistant GM Tom Fitzgerald is expected to go through the same process, and last week, Columbus Blue Jackets assistant general manager Bill Zito was in Minnesota for an interview.

All this after Nashville Predators assistant GM Paul Fenton also traveled to Minnesota to put his hat in the ring.

The Wild fired longtime executive Chuck Fletcher after being eliminated from the playoffs in five games at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets, marking the third consecutive season that Minnesota has been set aside in the first round.
