#2 Tom Wilson
Tom Wilson extended his season opening goal streak to three games with a goal the other night in the win over the Dallas Stars. It marks Wilson's first goal streak of three or more games since April 8-13, 2023. With a goal on Saturday at New Jersey, Wilson would match the franchise record for longest season opening goal streak per Ryan Billie.
Wilson would pass the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Mike Gartner, and Dennis Maruk. Wilson has recorded two streaks of four or more games in his career. He will suit up for his 758th career game tonight which will tie him with Mike Gartner for the ninth most games played in franchise history.
Wilson has recorded 24 points with seven goals and 17 assists in 43 career games against the Devils which is the most points he has against a single opponent.
In 2018 Wilson had a point streak from Nov. 21 to Dec. 2 with seven goals, of course we also remember 2023 when he had four goals in four games. Tonight we could see more history from number 43.
Which brings us to number one and shocker it's not Alex Ovechkin. Not for today's preview at least.
