Wilson tallied an assist, two PIM, 2 shots and four hits during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been all over the scoresheet recently with five goals, six points, 17 PIM, 33 shots, and 25 hits in his last eight games. The 29-year-old has returned to form following a knee injury that forced him to miss a significant portion of the 2022-23 season and is a reliable multi-category contributor suitable for all fantasy formats.

Wilson scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson scored with 3:14 left in the game to break up Logan Thompson's shutout bid. With four goals over his last two games, Wilson has found his shot during the Capitals' road trip out west. He's also been on the top line consistently in recent games, which helps his chances to produce offense. The heavy-hitting winger is up to eight goals, five assists, 62 shots on net, 59 hits, 45 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 21 appearances.

Wilson recorded a hat trick on seven shots and added four PIM in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson celebrated his 700th career game in style with his first career hat trick. Two of his goals in the contest came on the power play. While he was limited to five tallies and two assists over 12 contests this month, this effort was an encouraging sign for Wilson's offense going forward. The power winger has seven goals, 12 points, 60 shots on net, 57 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 20 outings this season.

Wilson tallied the game-tying goal, four shots, three hits and added five PIM during Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson leveled the game at three a piece with just 1:15 left in the third period to snap a three-game point drought. Firmly entrenched on the top line, the 29-year-old continues to provide a well-rounded skillset that gives him broad appeal as a fantasy asset so keep him rolling.

Wilson scored a goal in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He chipped a bouncing puck off the catching arm shoulder of Elvis Merzlikins to open the scoring in the first period. Wilson has a point in five of his last six games (three goals, two assists) and 20 shots in that span. Remarkably, he's tied with Dylan Strome for third in team scoring (six points), and he's ahead of Evgeny Kuznetsov, who has five. The Caps are a low-scoring team, but Wilson will get lots of looks as the top-line right winger beside Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin.

Wilson tallied a goal, a plus-2 rating, five shots and seven hits during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's go-ahead goal was the 300th point of his NHL career and powered the Capitals to their third consecutive win. Meshing well with Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome on the top line - posting two goals and five points in his last six games - the 29-year-old is re-establishing himself as a multi-category contributor after spending most of the 2022-23 season working back from knee surgery.

Wilson recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has picked up an assist in three of his last four games. Wednesday also marked the first time this season he's avoided a trip to the penalty box. The rough-and-tumble winger is up to three points, 10 shots on net, 18 hits, five blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-2 rating through six outings. Head coach Spencer Carbery is still trying to find the most effective line combinations, but Wilson should remain in a top-six role with power-play time throughout the season.

Wilson tallied a power-play assist while adding three shots and three hits during Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson helped set up Alex Ovechkin's 300th career power-play goal -- the only highlight in another subpar outing for the now 1-3-1 Capitals. The burly winger is still searching for his first goal and has only two assists in the first five games, but some positive regression is due for Wilson and his teammates so fantasy managers should remain patient.

Wilson posted an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and 11 PIM in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson fought Mark Kastelic in the second period and got involved in another dust-up in the third. Through three contests, Wilson's been a regular visitor to the sin bin with 18 PIM. He's added five shots on net and 10 hits, while his assist Wednesday was his first point of the campaign. The winger should continue to see top-six minutes and some power-play time.

Wilson signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract extension with Washington on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has one season remaining on a six-year, $31.02 million contract he signed in July of 2018. The combative winger played in only 33 games last season, missing the first 42 games after offseason knee surgery. Wilson ended the season with 13 goals and 22 points. He ended the season on a high note with a four-game goal scoring streak. If he's able to stay relatively healthy, look for Wilson to contribute 20-plus goals, 40-plus points, at least 90 PIM and 200-plus hits in 2023-24.
