Wilson (shoulder) will return Saturday for a road game against the Canadiens, Adrian Dater of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson no longer carries an IR designation, so feel free to deploy him as normal in fantasy leagues. While the American skater is not an irresistible option, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar has Wilson taking 54.2 percent of his 5-on-5 shifts in the offensive zone this year. He'll look to build upon his output of 13 points (eight goals, five assists) through 35 games.

Wilson (shoulder) wore a regular jersey during Monday's practice and will join the team on its upcoming road trip, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has missed six games with a shoulder injury, but the recent developments indicate he is nearing a return to game action. If and when he does suit up again, Wilson's fantasy value is minimal.

Wilson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The discouraging developments continue for Wilson after he sustained a shoulder injury in Friday's game against the Blackhawks and was promptly given a week-to-week return timetable. Various reports have noted that Wilson went in for X-rays, but we're still waiting for an exact prognosis from the Avalanche. Meanwhile, A.J. Greer has been summoned from AHL Colorado, and Sheldon Dries is yet another rookie forward available to fill in for Wilson on Saturday against the Coyotes.

Wilson sustained a left shoulder injury in the third period of Friday's game against the Blackhawks and will not return, Adrian Dater of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
With 16:24 left in the third frame, Wilson had to be assisted off the ice after a nasty collision with opposing forward Andreas Martinsen. He'll be checked out further with an official prognosis expected ahead of Saturday's road game against the Coyotes.

Wilson scored a goal and had an assist while taking one shot on goal during Thursday's 6-5 loss to Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was involved in two of five Colorado goals as the Avs gave up five goals in the third period to drop points against the Flames. The goal was Wilson's fourth of the year, while the assist marked his first of the season. The winger isn't a great fantasy option as he's tallied only five points in 13 games this year.

Wilson recorded six goals and 18 points in 56 games during 2017-18.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed time on five separate occasions due to a variety of injuries, but it was still his worst points-per-game (0.321) in a season since entering the league. The 28-year-old winger also averaged a career-low 13:08 of ice time per outing. Wilson will want to turn it around in 2018-19, as he'll be an unrestricted free agent after that campaign.

Wilson picked up a power-play assist in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
A concussion and lower-body injury had kept him sidelined for 13 of the past 15 games, but Wilson was able to make a contribution in his return to action Monday. The 28-year-old only has six goals and 18 points in 54 games on the season, but the Avs need all hands on deck if they're going to hang onto a wild-card playoff spot.

Wilson (lower body) is in the lineup Monday against Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's been dealing with injuries ever since March began, as he's missed 13 of Colorado's 15 games, but was able to record an assist in one of the two games he skated in. The 28-year-old is slated to appear on the fourth line, and with 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) on the season, he sits just three tallies away from his fifth straight 20-point season.

Wilson (lower body) will be an injured scratch Wednesday night against the Flyers, The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
An industrious winger with a rigid work ethic, Wilson should be back before long given how he seems to give it his all in every aspect of the game. However, time is of the essence as far as fantasy games are concerned, as the Avalanche only have six games remaining in the regular season.

Wilson (lower body) will miss another game Monday night, with the Avalanche in Las Vegas to take on the Golden Knights, The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson likely isn't on the collective mind of fantasy owners based on an output of 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) through 53 games. Still, he's known as a well-rounded winger and is typically deployed on the man advantage when healthy, so his absence most certainly will be felt by a Colorado club with fairly good odds of extending its season.
