One of the more feared physical forces in the National Hockey League, Wilson makes his presence known when he's on the ice.

The No. 16 pick by the Washington Capitals in the 2012 NHL Draft developed that hard-hitting reputation in junior and carried that on through to the NHL, where he consistently finishes in the top 10 in penalty minutes.

Wilson's stock rose with Plymouth of the Ontario Hockey League in the 2011-12 season. Though he only had nine goals and 27 points - and 141 penalty minutes - in 49 games, he raised his game in the playoffs, picking up seven goals and 13 points in 13 games. 

In 2012-13, the Toronto native more than doubled his previous year's offensive production, with 23 goals and 58 points in 48 games, before adding nine goals and 17 points in 12 playoff games. After Plymouth was eliminated, Wilson joined Hershey for the American Hockey League playoffs and scored one goal in three games.

Wilson would make his NHL debut with the Capitals in Game 5 of the second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the New York Rangers, appearing in the final three games of the seven-game series.

As a 19-year-old in the 2013-14 season, Wilson played all 82 games and finished with 151 penalty minutes - seventh in the League - and 10 points. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound wing saw his average ice time increase by three minutes per game, to 10:56, in his second season and his offense went up as well, to 17 points in 67 games. He also finished fourth in the NHL with 172 penalty minutes.

In 2015-16, Wilson again improved his offensive output, to seven goals, 16 assists and 23 points, and his 163 penalty minutes was third in the League.
