Tom Wilson becomes third-youngest player in Washington Capitals history to reach 900 games: 'It's been more than a dream come true'

""It's been more than a dream come true. It's been an incredible journey, and I feel really privileged to be at home in Washington my whole career so far. I just take a lot of pride in what I've done.""

""It's funny the way it works. When you're a young guy, you never are lucky enough to know at that stage that you're going to be a veteran and around the league for a long time. And, at this point in your career, you don't get to talk to your younger self. So, [time] certainly flies by.""

He has played his entire career with the Capitals and ranks third in goals and sixth in points among his 2012 NHL Draft class. Wilson reflects on his journey and the passage of time in his career.
