Wilson registered an assist while logging 21:55 of ice time during Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Wilson has managed six assists in his last 10 games but has not scored a goal since Oct. 31 after notching six goals in his first four games to open the season. The 30-year-old winger is meshing well with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Connor McMichael on the second line and has a healthy 14 points in 19 games so fantasy managers shouldn't fret the lack of goal-scoring for now.
