On the replay that was posted, all you can see is the back of his helmet. Ignoring who the player is, I think it’s just as likely that he’s looking at the player in the corner with the puck. It’s almost like he feels Gaudreau incoming and tries to lift his leg to avoid a direct blow. I also think if he wanted to take Johnny’s knee out he could/would have skated through with more force.
That said, Wilson is a dirty player so it’s easy to assume it was intentional… no argument against that. I doubt he’d care even if it was an accident.
