Behind the scenes, Capitals forward Andre Burakovsky has been working hard on all facets of his game to return quicker from a broken hand. Apparently that also includes chirping.
Tuesday evening, the Burracuda tried to tease Tom Wilson on Twitter, but was instantly shutdown by his real-life neighbor.

Burakovsky took the L in this exchange because Wilson fried him about his inability to grow facial hair.
While logged on to social media, Wilson also took a moment to thank fans for their support during his first 300 NHL games.
Tuesday night, Wilson became second quickest player from the 2012 NHL Draft class to reach 300 games played (Alex Galchenyuk). Wilson dropped his gloves with Ryan White and earned 17 penalty minutes during his milestone evening.
Michael Latta congratulated his former roommate on Twitter.
300 games before 23 years old. Crazy. Congrats to my brother @tom_wilso. #2+5+10 #nails

Wilson was very appreciative.
