Tom Wilson Plays His 200th Game

(Caps Outsider)

While enthusiastic Caps Kid’s Club members were enjoying their special day at Verizon Center, another youngin was reaching a milestone on the ice.  Tom Wilson became only the fifth player in Caps franchise history to play 200 NHL games before his 22nd birthday.  When  he stepped on the ice Sunday against the Flyers, he joined former Caps Bob Carpenter, Scott Stevens, Gaetan Duchesne, and Kevin Hatcher with this achievement.

Wilson, known for his tough hits and 434 penalty minutes in 199 career games, was the player featured by the Caps Kid’s club this season.  Each deluxe member received a Wilson bobblehead. This is a tribute to the young forward’s popularity and his appeal to all fans.

Wilson has earned 42 points, 11 goals and 31 assists, in his NHL career so far.  Fans look forward to seeing him play for the Caps for years to come.
