Significant fallout from Tom Wilson's blindside hit on Curtis Lazar appears to be in short supply.

The heavy Washington Capitals winger will reportedly avoid a hearing for his hit on Lazar Wednesday night, which saw him earn a match penalty, and an ejection.

By rule, a match penalty results in a one-game suspension, but the club expects the automatic ban to be rescinded by the NHL's Department of Player Safety, according to CSN Mid-Atlantic's Chuck Gormley.

Meanwhile, Lazar says he did not suffer a head injury on the play, but is being considered a game-time decision for the Senators' game on Friday versus the San Jose Sharks due to whiplash-like effects.

Lazar has a history of concussions, so his status is likely to be seen as encouraging news by the Senators.
