If Dan Carcillo had a say, Tom Wilson would certainly be suspended.

The former NHL enforcer took to Twitter on Wednesday to offer his take on a hit delivered by the Washington Capitals winger on Pittsburgh's Zach Aston-Reese during Game 3, using this angle as a reference point:

From his point of view, Wilson clearly thrusts himself in an upward motion and makes contact with the head, resulting in a concussion and broken jaw for Aston-Reese.

Carcillo hopes Aston-Reese will get the help he needs in the recovery process.

Carcillo racked up 1,233 career penalty minutes and was fined or suspended 12 times over his nine-year career, but he's become an outspoken advocate for concussion research and brain safety since his retirement in 2015, setting up the Chapter 5 Foundation, which is dedicated to helping players who are struggling with post-concussion syndrome, anxiety, or depression.

He also announced he's pledging his brain "to be used for study and furthering understanding of the consequences of traumatic brain injury" when he dies.

Wilson had a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Wednesday.

The Colorado Avalanche have gone to Russia for a little netminding insurance, as on Wednesday the club agreed to a one-year deal with KHL goaltender Pavel Francouz.

The 27-year-old Czech native has spent the past three seasons in the KHL, where he owned a .946 save percentage and 1.81 GAA in 37 appearances this season.

Francouz also represented the Czech Republic at the 2018 Winter Olympics, suiting up for six games. More recently, he's been tabbed to play for the Czechs at the upcoming World Championship in Denmark.

As it stands, Semyon Varlamov is the lone Avalanche netminder under contract through next season, meaning Francouz could be in the running for the backup job.

University of Denver's Jim Montgomery will be the next head coach of the Dallas Stars, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Mike Chambers of The Denver Post adds Montgomery informed the school he has agreed in principle to become the head coach of the Stars, according to a source.

Montgomery said he won't comment until Friday, when Dallas is expected to have a news conference to introduce him as Ken Hitchcock's replacement.

The news comes after a report on Tuesday indicated that Montgomery had become one of the emerging candidates for the job. Montgomery was also believed to have garnered serious interest from the New York Rangers, who are also currently without a head coach, according to The Athletic's Craig Custance.

Montgomery is coming off his fifth year as coach of the Pioneers, capping his tenure off with a semifinal loss to Ohio State in the Frozen Four. In his five years with the team, he posted a record of 125-57-26.

Last offseason, the Florida Panthers gave Montgomery some serious consideration as their next head coach before ultimately hiring Bob Boughner.
