Capitals veteran forward Tom Wilson has been known for his aggressive, physical play on the ice, but right now he is looking like an early Hart Trophy candidate this season.
Wilson is off to a hot start by scoring five goals in Washington’s first four games of the 2024-25 season. In 2023-24, he did not score his fifth goal of the season until the Capitals’ 20th game on Nov. 30.
Last night vs. the New Jersey Devils, Wilson scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime. This marked his fourth career OT goal and his first since March 1, 2023 at Anaheim.
