Wilson has recently started skating but has not taken any practices with his teammates. He is taking his recover step-by-step and day-by-day so he will not suffer a setback. His return timetable still unknown is not the most important thing, it is to get stronger and be able to come back 100%.

Wilson says, “It’s tough coming in here, it’s tough seeing everyone working through their skate tests, and you want to be out there with them and you don’t want be the guy not out there,” “So, it’s tough mentally, but I’m putting in the work off the ice and hopefully it comes around.”

During his rookie season in 2013-2014, Wilson had 10 points along with 151 penalty minutes in 82 games.
