5 - Number of shorthanded goals scored by Tom Wilson over his career, including last night’s tally against the Sabres. No one has scored more goals shorthanded in a Caps jersey than Wilson since he made his NHL debut in the 2013-14 season; in fact, only two other players (Nic Dowd and Lars Eller) have as many as a Capital over that span, and Wilson’s five shorthanded goals account for almost a fifth of the team’s shorthanded output (27 goals) since his rookie season.
He is now just the 19th player in franchise history to score as many as five shorthanded goals during his time in DC,
