Jack Tregurtha, Jack Christensen and Terry Guider also scored for the Tigers, who are battling Darien for the top seed in the upcoming FCIAC playoffs. Nate Gliedman made 18 saves to record the shutout.
The loss cooled off the Warriors, who dropped to 7-9.
Wilton had won seven of its previous eight games following an 0-7 start and needs only one win to qualify for the state tournament.
Ridgefield improved to 8-0 in the FCIAC, good for 16 points, and remained in a first-place tie with Darien (11-3, 8-0) which defeated Trumbull 8-0 on Wednesday for its 10th straight victory.
Ridgefield and Darien square off on Saturday at the Darien Ice Rink.
