<\/p>\n

5. Tom Wilson<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Washington’s power forward brings an edge to this list that few can match\u2014rugged, intense, and unmistakably handsome, Wilson’s chiseled jawline and piercing gaze have earned him a devoted following despite his reputation as one of the league’s most physical players.

2. Nico Hischier<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Devils captain has been turning heads since entering the league, but it’s his recent physical transformation that has fans doing double takes.

His chiseled new frame only enhances the leading-man looks that have made him New Jersey’s most photogenic star.<\/span><\/p>\n
