In 2 playoff games, Wilson had no points. He missed the entire 1986–87 season due to a back injury, but came back in 1987–88 getting 29 points (6G-23A) in 58 games. On October 3, 1988, the Vancouver Canucks claimed Wilson in the Waiver Draft, however he did not play in any games in the 1988–89 season due to his back injury.
Wilson would never play another game, as he retired after the 1988–89 season.
