Tom Wilson Is In A Big Five On Five Scoring Slump

He has 12 goals in 35 games played this season. That puts Wilson on pace to score 28 goals if he were to play all 82 games this season. That would beat his career best that he set last season with 22 goals.

All seems good for Wilson. All is in fact good for Wilson, if you take away 5v5 scoring. In the last 17 games Tom Wilson has four total goals. That’s not great but it’s plenty from him. The problem here is three of those four goals have come against an empty net. In his last 17 games, which goes back to November 11th, Wilson has just one goal at 5v5.
