EDGE Analysis

Wilson had been awaiting medical clearance to return from an eight-game absence, and it appears he got it ahead of Wednesday's game against Vancouver. The 31-year-old has 22 goals, 42 points, 59 PIM and 110 hits in 41 outings in 2025-26. Ivan Miroshnichenko was reassigned to AHL Hershey in a corresponding move after playing in Washington's past two games.

Wilson (lower body) will be a game-time call ahead of Wednesday's clash with Vancouver, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson told reporters he needed to speak with the medical team before making a final decision regarding his availability. Prior to getting hurt, the gritty winger racked up five goals and three assists, including one power-play point, in his last four outings. If Wilson does play, Ivan Miroshnichenko could find himself relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson has been sidelined since early January due to his lower-body injury but has progressed in his recovery recently. He was considered a possibility for Thursday's game against the Sharks before being ruled out, and he was a full participant in Friday's practice session. If Wilson is held out once again Saturday, Brett Leason will likely remain in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will be out of action for his fifth straight outing due to his lower-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 31-year-old winger notched eight points in his previous five contests while dishing out 13 hits. Once given the all-clear, Wilson should slot back into a top-six role for the Caps.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to Jan. 3, so Wilson won't play Friday in Chicago, but he is eligible to return Sunday in Nashville. Wilson is still regarded as day-to-day, so his time on IR might be brief. The Capitals made this move to free up a roster spot for Aliaksei Protas (lower body), who has been taken off IR and will play against the Blackhawks.

Wilson (lower body) is unlikely to return to the lineup Friday in Chicago, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was absolutely tearing it up offensively prior to getting hurt, racking up five goals and three assists in his last four outings. With the veteran winger on the shelf, Brett Leason looks poised to take on a fourth-line role, unless the Caps decide to stick with the seven-defensemen deployment they used against Anaheim on Monday.
