xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.
Play stylePhysical defensive winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Wilson is a hard-nosed, fast-skating forward who generates chances through aggressive forechecking and strong rush entry ability. He excels defensively and in heavy play, but struggles with puck control and shot selection, leaving points on the table.

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
