"Tom Wilson is continuing to climb the Washington Capitals franchise record books during his 13th season with the team. After scoring two goals against the New York Islanders in a 4-1 win on Sunday afternoon, Wilson now ranks eighth on the Capitals' all-time goal list. The 31-year-old winger has scored 194 career goals with the Caps, leaping over Dave Christian (193) and former teammate TJ Oshie (192) on Long Island."
"Overall, Wilson has eight points (4g, 4a) in his last four games, which led to him being named the NHL's Third Star of the Week. According to the Capitals, Wilson has also scored the game-winner in two of Washington's last four games, which takes him past Oshie (28), Alexander Semin (28), Kelly Miller (29), and Dale Hunter (29) for the ninth-most game-winning goals by a Capital with 30."
"The burly winger's first goal against the Islanders came with the Capitals on a power play in the first period. After Ryan Leonard snapped a cross-seam pass to Alex Ovechkin, the Caps captain froze the Islanders' defense and goaltender Ilya Sorokin with a shot pass that Wilson deftly guided into the back of the net. The marker was Wilson's fifth power-play goal of the season, which ranks first on the Capitals and tied for the fourth-most in the NHL."
