Wilson showing consistency, maturity
Predators forward Colin Wilson skated and stick-handled down the left wing side, waited an extra second and delivered a perfect pass to set up a goal by Nick Spaling. That play in Saturday’s game against Anaheim was a pint-sized example of Wilson’s skill set, and Predators fans have seen those types of plays from the third-year forward on a more regular basis this season.Through...
