Playing career
Amateur
Wilson won the Gold Medal with Team Ontario at the 2011 World U-17 Hockey Challenge,[1] and was also selected to play in the 2012 CHL Top Prospects Game.[2] Prior to the 2012 NHL Entry Draft he was rated as a top prospect who was expected to be a first round selection in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.[3] The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Wilson was picked number 16 overall in the 2012 draft by the Capitals and excelled in an expanded offensive role with Plymouth. His third-year stats (23 goals, 58 points) more than doubled his previous year's output (9 goals, 27 points).
Professional
On May 10, 2013, Wilson made his NHL debut when he suited up with the Washington Capitals for Game 5 of their playoffs series against the New York Rangers.[4] During that game he had one memorable shift during which he lost a skate blade after a check on the boards and was forced to struggle back to the bench on one skate while play carried on. [5]
On October 3, 2013, Wilson entered his first NHL fight taking on Lance Bouma of the Calgary Flames.
His first NHL goal was scored on November 5, 2013 against Evgeni Nabokov of the New York Islanders.
