Wilson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
He has a well-rounded line overall, chipping in four shots, three hits, two PIM, one blocked shot and a plus-2 rating as well. Evgeny Kuznetsov did most of the hard work on the game-winner, charging the Winnipeg zone on a solo rush and sweeping behind the net, but Wilson followed up and parked himself in front of Connor Hellebuyck to take Kuznetsov's feed, and he banged home the puck on his second try. Wilson's got a three-game goal streak going, and on the season he has 12 tallies and 28 points in 36 contests.

Wilson (upper body) skated in Monday's practice, JJ Regan of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has missed the last four games with the injury but was back on the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov (COVID-19 protocols) during Monday's session. The 27-year-old has tallied nine goals and 24 points in 27 games and is a must-start as soon as he is activated off injured reserve -- which could be as early as Wednesday's match against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis
Wilson has already missed the Capitals' last four games, so he will be eligible to return whenever he's medically cleared. The 27-year-old does not have a specific timeline to return yet, so he'll be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's game versus the Flyers.

Wilson (upper body) was unable to participate in Monday's practice session, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, Wilson should be considered questionable at best heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Blackhawks. Still, the 27-year-old winger will have a few extra days to get back to 100 percent. If he remains unavailable, Alexei Protas figures to remain in a top-six role.
