Rotowire
Wilson scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Wilson has four goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The 31-year-old winger stretched the Capitals' lead to 4-1 while cashing in on Mathieu Olivier's major penalty in the third period. So far, Wilson has avoided the regression concerns that came with his 33-goal, 65-point 2024-25 regular season. He's at five goals, 11 points (four on the power play), 19 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through eight appearances this season. That pace is too high to sustain, but another 60-point campaign isn't looking far-fetched.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Dishes two assists in defeat
Rotowire
Wilson had two assists, one shot on goal and seven hits but a minus-2 rating during his 20:57 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
Wilson has been his usual physical self this season, notching a season-high seven hits Sunday to bring his total to 21, but he's also doing his best to prove his offensive breakout from last season was no fluke. The 31-year-old has nine points through six games this season, one campaign after notching the first 30-30 season of his career last year. If he can continue to blend his normal physicality with his newfound elite offensive touch, he'll be a valuable fantasy option moving forward.

Rotowire
Wilson scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Wilson shot a career-best 19.5 percent during the 2024-25 regular season, but he's started hot again this year and should still be capable of a 20-goal, 40-point campaign even with noticeable regression in luck.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: First career 30-goal season
Rotowire
Wilson scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over Detroit.
It was Wilson's 30th goal and the first time he's hit that mark. He's the third player in NHL history to have played at least 800 regular-season games before recording his first 30-goal season. Wilson is on an absolute tear right now -- he has 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in his past 17 games. At his current pace, he could hit the 65-point mark and perhaps even more. The trade windows in fantasy have all closed, but get ready to move Wilson early in the offseason as he basks in this season. We'd like to say he can easily replicate this effort, but the NHL is an unforgiving place for guys who hit their peak at his age.
