Tom Wilson is white hot to start the season.

The dynamic, two-way top liner scored two goals in the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Penguins.

Goal 1

First was a quick-response goal. Just six seconds after the Penguins broke the shutout, Alex Ovechkin fed Tom Wilson on a break.

Top shelf. Flawless wrist shot.

Goal 2

Less than three minutes later, he did it again– this time Wilson got the feed from John Carlson to score from up close.

Wonderful net-crashing here from Wilson, but also a beauty of a pass from Carlson.

And that’s three goals for Wilson in a very young season. Now, a tweet:

In my opinion Tom Wilson is the best goal scorer in the league
