Wilson, 20, received minor penalties for embellishment in a March 1 game against Toronto and again in a March 19 game against Minnesota.

Under NHL Rule 64, which is new this season, players are warned for a first instance of diving and then fined for each one after that up to a maximum of $5,000. Head coaches are fined beginning with a fourth instance for a particular player.
