Either David Pastrnak genuinely believes Tom Wilson is an incredibly gifted offensive player, or someone (quite possibly the Washington Capitals pest) found the Boston Bruins superstar's phone lying around in the bubble.
Predictably, Wilson replied about 20 minutes later.
The Capitals then entered the chat.
The Bruins and Capitals are staying at the same hotel in Toronto, which is the hub city for the Eastern Conference as part of the NHL's return-to-play plan.
Pastrnak tied Washington sniper Alex Ovechkin for the league lead with 48 goals during the regular season. For what it's worth, Wilson netted 21 and was on pace to surpass his career high of 22 before the pause.
