"Wilson was named the NHL's Third Star of the Week after scoring four goals and recording eight total points in the Capitals' last four games, all wins. The 31-year-old winger finished the week off with a three-point (2g, 1a) performance against the New York Islanders, which saw him climb into the league's top five in goal scoring. The Capitals' alternate captain has points in five straight games and notched 17 points (9g, 8a) in 15 total games last month."
"Wilson started his high-scoring week with two points (1g, 1a) against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday. He then earned the primary assist on John Carlson's goal to open the scoring against the Winnipeg Jets last Wednesday. The star winger then closed the week with two more multi-point games against the Toronto Maple Leafs (1g, 1a) and the Islanders."
"After his big week, Wilson sits first on the Capitals with 29 points (15g, 14a) in 26 games played and is the only player on the team scoring at above a point-per-game rate. He is on pace for 47 goals, 44 assists, and 91 points, which would all be career highs."
