The Washington Capitals have added junior prospect Tom Wilson to their training camp roster. Wilson, 18, was selected 16th overall in the 2012 draft and signed a three-year entry level deal with Washington in July after he stood out at the team's annual development camp. Wilson's invite is something of a reversal for the Capitals, considering that earlier this week, general manager George McPhee said he didn't envision including junior players in the abbreviated training camp. In 30 games with the Ontario Hockey League's Plymouth Whalers this season, Wilson has recorded 12 goals, 22 assists and 59 penalty minutes and he was one of the final players cut from Canada's world junior team roster last month. Wilson is slated to play with Plymouth Friday night and travel to Washington Saturday.

Tom Wilson lit the lamp in Plymouth's 6-2 win over Guelph on Wednesday night. Wilson wasn't really known for his scoring ability when the Capitals drafted him in the first round of the 2012 draft, but he's showing a lot of improvement in that area this year in the OHL. The 18-year-old has topped his career highs in goals with 11 and points with 29. Last year, he had nine and 27, respectively, in 49 contests. Mitchell Heard, the Avalanche's 2012 second-round pick, also had two assists in his first OHL game this year.

Tom Wilson scored for the fourth time this season in Plymouth's 3-0 win over Windsor on Wednesday night. Wilson has been a nice surprise offensively for Plymouth, with four goals and 16 points in 14 games. The Capitals' 16th-overall pick in the 2012 draft should be a few years from sniffing the NHL. Ducks 2011 first-rounder Rickard Rakell also had an assist, for his 22nd point.

Tom Wilson scored and assisted twice in Plymouth's 8-7 loss to Saginaw on Wednesday night. The Caps took Wilson with the 16th pick in the past draft. Gifted physically, Wilson has the body to be a big-time power forward but hasn't ever been healthy for a full OHL season and lacks some offensive creativity. In his short time this season, though, he's shown decent ability in the offensive zone, with 14 points in 11 games. Ducks 2011 first-rounder Rickard Rakell also had a goal and two helpers.
