It is the second time this season that the forward has registered a two-goal performance and the eighth time in his career.

Prior to Tuesday, Wilson was the last player who had tallied a four-point night on home ice when he tallied two goals and two assists on March 8, 0 vs. EDM. The most recent four-point game by a Pred was Craig Smith s two-goal, two-assist night at Minnesota in the 0- season finale. Wilson has six multi-point outings in his last game and 6 points (g-a) in his last 6 games.
