Nothing but respect between these two players!

After that handshake, Wilson even turned around and gave a small "thumbs up" in the direction of what appeared to be Anderson.
Another subtle move, but one that speaks volumes.
Wilson and the Washington Capitals will now face the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the NHL playoffs, as the Hurricanes just eliminated the New Jersey Devils.
