Wilson scored unassisted in overtime Thursday, sending the Capitals to victory in Game 1 of their playoff-opening series with Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson played a strong game defensively -- five hits and three takeaways -- and he ended up being rewarded in the offensive zone when he generated a turnover and fired the puck over Frederik Andersen's shoulder. The Leafs are his hometown club, and Wilson played a strong game against them. Of course, his limited ice time and generally modest offensive contributions limit his fantasy value; most DFS formats and postseason pools don't reward Wilson's huge hit and PIM totals.

Wilson posted a goal with a plus-1 rating and two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is mostly known for being an irritant to the opposition, but he has come alive on the offensive end lately. He has a goal, two assists and a plus-2 rating over his past four outings. While it's too late to consider him in most seasonal pools he is worth a look if you need a low-cost DFS option with a little upside.

Wilson is expected to start on the top line Tuesday against the Rangers, Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson is filling in for T.J. Oshie (upper body) on the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. While he's struggled to generate consistent offense, Wilson has been better in that department in recent weeks, and playing alongside such offensive heavyweights certainly enhances his short-term fantasy value. Those in daily formats might want to look at the power forward as a sleeper option tonight.

Wilson scored a first-period goal during Friday's win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
It was just the fifth goal of the campaign for Wilson, but it's his contributions in the PIM (65) and hits (163) columns that move the fantasy needle. The 22-year-old winger is consistently being deployed in a fourth-line role, so there isn't a lot of offensive upside, but he's a potential option in deep formats including PIM and hits.

Wilson picked up an assist in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The power forward has been a great asset on the fourth line for the Caps, but his fantasy value has taken a hit with a measured decline in penalty minutes from last season. As such, the 22-year-old winger's fantasy value remains fairly limited unless he can become a more consistent producer offensively.

Wilson earned an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The assist was well-earned as Wilson forced a turnover in the offensive zone and fed the puck to a waiting Evgeny Kuznetsov who buried the game-winning goal in the third period. Wilson's been a more effective player for the Capitals this season in terms of all-around play and staying out of the penalty box, but the latter has diminished his fantasy value in deeper leagues that counted such peripheral stats.

Wilson picked up an assist and four hits in Washington's 7-3 rout over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The power forward has a goal and five points in his last four games playing alongside Daniel Winnik and Jay Beagle on the fourth line. The Capitals are asking more from the Toronto native in terms of overall play, so his traditionally strong contributions in terms of penalty minutes are down significantly from last season. His fantasy value remains limited to deeper leagues that count peripheral stats like hits, but if he can jumpstart his offensive game, he might carve out a larger role for himself and warrant consideration more broadly. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor his progress for the time being.

Wilson will play in Monday's game in Montreal, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old didn't end up missing a single game due to a lower body injury sustained over the weekend. With four points in 39 games, owners shouldn't be jumping at the chance to start Wilson.

Wilson (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game in Montreal, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The winger only has four points in 39 games, so in or out, he isn't much of a fantasy threat. That said, owners who will need him should keep their eyes peeled for more information as puck drop draws near.

Wilson recorded a season-high five hits in just over 10 minutes of ice time during Thursday's loss against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-liner may be only seeing an average of 12:57 of ice time per game, but he is making his presence felt defensively, with 47 hits on the young campaign after 22 outings. However, don't expect much offense from Wilson, as he has only recorded one point thus far on the season.
