Coach Barry Trotz upgraded Wilson to questionable for Friday's game against the Devils, but the forward is still considered more likely to make his return to the lineup Saturday versus the Blues, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports. The Capitals seemed to initially rule Wilson out entirely for Friday after he was limited to skating on his own the last few days, but his participation in practice in a non-contact capacity Thursday morning seems to have improved his outlook. Wilson acknowledged that while he was closing in on 100 percent health, it still seems more likely that the Capitals will hold him out to Saturday, just so he's not overextending himself by playing back-to-back nights right away coming off the injury.
