Rotowire
Wilson (face) expects to play in Thursday's matchup with Columbus while wearing a full bubble shield, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Wilson has been finding his stride offensively of late with five goals and three assists in his last seven outings, including a pair of goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Montreal. Cemented in a first-line role, the gritty winger should continue to get plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net while Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) is on the shelf.

Capitals' Tom Wilson: Being evaluated
Rotowire
Wilson (face) didn't practice Monday to undergo further evaluations, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Wilson briefly left Saturday's 4-2 win over Montreal in the first period after a redirected slap shot by teammate Jakob Chychrun struck him in the face. The 30-year-old Wilson scored two goals in the contest and appeared fine afterward despite sporting a swollen and cut left cheek. However, the team wants to ensure that there isn't anything damaged structurally before clearing him for Thursday's road game versus Columbus.
