Wilson assisted on Andre Burakovsky's power-play goal during Washington's 3-1 win over the Islanders on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year power-forward also fired three shots on goal and added two hits. Already an imposing physical presence, the third-year winger was challenged to work on his offensive game over the offseason, and the early returns are promising as he has a goal and an assist in two preseason contests. With T.J. Oshie and Justin Williams ahead of him on the depth chart, Wilson will need to continue making an impact on more of the scoresheet than just the penalty minute columns if he is to move up the Washington depth chart, but if his offensive skills continue to grow, he could emerge as a solid multi-category performer in most leagues and has some sleeper potential heading into 2015-2016.
