Wilson was suspended for seven games Saturday by the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Boston's Brandon Carlo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was offered an in-person hearing, indicating his suspension would be in excess of five games. With the seven-game suspension, Wilson won't be eligible to play again until March 20 versus the Rangers. This is his fifth suspension in the last four seasons. Conor Sheary could be headed for top-six duties while Daniel Carr or Daniel Sprong are most likely to enter the lineup in Wilson's place.

Wilson has been offered an in-person hearing by the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Boston's Brandon Carlo during Friday's loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Wilson has been offered an in-person hearing suggests he could be facing a suspension of more than five games. The 26-year-old winger will be treated as a repeat offender, as he's been suspended on four different occasions over the past four seasons for various infractions.

EDGE Analysis
Wilson set up Jakub Vrana's goal in the first period to get Washington on the board, then worked a perfect 2-on-1 rush with Nicklas Backstrom to give the Capitals the lead early in the middle stanza. Wilson has produced points in each of his last three games (one goal, three assists), giving him 17 on the year.

Wilson scored a power-play on his only shot of the game in Thursday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh. He also had four hits and two PIM.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson gave the Capitals their first lead of the game when he re-directed a John Carlson feed 12:40 into the third period. The goal, Wilson's seventh of the year, held up as the game-winner. Wilson, who has 14 points in 17 games, has a chance at producing his third consecutive 20-goal campaign despite the abbreviated schedule.

Wilson scored a goal and added three assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The Caps' top line of Wilson, Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin got almost no help from the rest of the roster in this one, as Lars Eller's lone assist was the only point produced by a Washington player outside of that trio. Wilson has had an outstanding start to the season, scoring five goals and 12 points in 10 games, numbers more than good enough to allow him to keep his premium assignment even when players like Jakub Vrana (COVID-19) and T.J. Oshie (upper body) are back in action.

Wilson recorded a power-play assist, two shots and nine hits during Saturday's 4-3 overtime win against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The helper extended Wilson's point streak to six games (four goals, four assists). The 26-year-old isn't spending as much time in the sin bin as he was earlier in his career, but he has emerged as one of the most well-rounded fantasy producers around so keep him in your lineups.

Wilson tallied an empty-net goal, two penalty minutes and three hits during Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson made an impact after returning to the lineup having missed the prior two games with a lower-body injury. With four goals and seven points in five games, the 26-year-old winger should return to his all-around proficient ways as Washington gets the likes of Alex Ovechkin (COVID-19 protocols) and Evgeny Kuznetsov (COVID-19 protocols) back in the lineup, so keep him rolling.

Prior to sitting out with the injury, Wilson was on a four-game point streak, racking up six points over that span. He'll return to his usual top-line role with Jakub Vrana and Nicklas Backstrom for Thursday's game.

Wilson (lower body) is not on the ice for pregame warmups and will not play Tuesday against the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was on fire prior to sitting out Sunday's game against Buffalo with the injury, rattling off six points over a four-game point streak. He dished out 22 hits over that span, too, so his absence will be felt in fantasy circles as well as on the ice. Wilson will have another chance to suit up Thursday (also on the road against the Islanders).
