Wilson (concussion) is expected to play Friday following a three-game injury layoff, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recall that Wilson was drilled by Vegas enforcer Ryan Reaves in a Dec. 4 road game, which some viewed as poetic justice for the Capitals forward, who certainly delivers his share of questionable hits and is no stranger to the league's player safety division. At any rate, Wilson's fantasy owners will be eager to get him back into lineups, as he's off to a career-best offensive pace with eight goals and six assists through his first 11 games.

Wilson (concussion) took the ice during practice Tuesday, sporting a non-contact jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was not skating as of Monday, though he was considered a candidate to retake the ice later in the week. Just a day later is a minor surprise, but it puts the veteran thumper on his path toward returning. Shedding the non-contact jersey marks Wilson's next step toward a return, so look out for news of that occurrence.

Wilson (concussion) could resume on-ice activities later this week, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has not played since he was clipped by Golden Knights' enforcer, Ryan Reaves and suffered a concussion as a result of the hit. Coach Todd Reirden is hopeful that Wilson can resume skating later in the week as he continues to work his way back to full health. The 24-year-old has scored eight goals and posted 14 points in 11 games this season.

Wilson (concussion) will not be ready to play Saturday evening against host Columbus, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is still feeling the effects of a blindside hit that he absorbed from enforcer Ryan Reaves of the Golden Knights in Tuesday's contest. No stranger to delivering questionable hits himself, Wilson has otherwise enjoyed a spectacular 2018-19 campaign consisting of eight goals and six helpers, with four power-play points through 11 games. Look for Travis Boyd to continue seeing ice time on the fourth line with Andre Burakovsky manning the top unit during Wilson's absence.

Wilson (concussion) won't be in the lineup versus Arizona on Thursday, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given the severity of the hit on Wilson by Ryan Reaves, the Toronto native returning to the lineup this quickly would likely have raised some red flags at NHL headquarters. The team hasn't provided a specific timeline for when the winger might be eligible to return, but given the difficulty of diagnosing concussion, the team (and fantasy owners) will likely have to take a wait and see approach.

Wilson exited Tuesday's game versus the Golden Knights after taking a hit from Ryan Reaves, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson just finished dishing a pass to his teammate when Reaves barreled into him, knocking Wilson's helmet off and sending him straight to the locker room. Reaves received a game misconduct for interference. It's unclear if Wilson will be able to return for the third period.

Wilson will not face supplementary discipline for his questionable hit on Brett Seney in Friday's game against the Devils, Chris Kuc of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was assessed a match penalty as a result of the hit, but he has dodged a hearing from the league this time around. According to Spotrac.com, Washington's top-line right winger has lost 23 games in his career due to suspensions -- twice due to an illegal check to the head -- so it's only natural to question Wilson's intent whenever he delivers a nasty-looking hit. Otherwise, he's been playing out of his mind, with seven goals and 13 points over nine games this season.

Wilson was ejected from Friday's game versus the Devils with a match penalty due to a hit on Brett Seney, NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed the first 16 games of the year due to a preseason hit on the Blues' Oskar Sundqvist, and he's playing just in just the ninth game since his return. He was tearing it up, too, with seven goals and 13 points. The match penalty means Wilson is suspended until he hears from the league, and his repeated-offender status could lead to another multi-game ban. Expect the verdict to come swiftly with a Sunday matchup versus the Ducks on the horizon.

Wilson scored two goals and added an assist in Monday's win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
As long as Wilson's lined up with Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin, he'll rack up plenty of points. He's brought it to another level since his suspension, posting six goals and 12 points in eight games while firing 21 shots on net. Wilson hasn't lost his physical knack, either, with 19 hits and 11 PIM in that span. Fantasy owners should continue riding his hot streak.

Wilson scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been on a tear since returning from suspension, racking up seven points over a four-game point streak. Of course, at least some portion of his success can be attributed to skating with star veterans Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, but Wilson is holding his own and producing at a rate that should make him a household name fantasy-wise. The 24-year-old has also averaged 22:56 of ice time over his last four, including a hearty 3:28 on the power play, which is the type of role that should continue to afford him plenty of chances to get on the scoresheet.
