Oliver Wahlstrom: Released from tryout
Wahlstrom was released from his professional tryout agreement with the Sharks on Tuesday.
Wahlstrom will now link up with AHL San Jose, as he's signed to a minor-league deal for the 2025-26 season. The No. 11 overall selection in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft will look to put together a strong campaign with the Barracuda in an effort to be a potential call-up if the Sharks need his services due to injuries throughout the year. That said, San Jose would need to ink him to at least a two-way contract before he would be eligible to play in the NHL. Wahlstrom accumulated nine goals and 15 points over 19 regular-season outings with AHL Providence in 2024-25.

Sharks' Oliver Wahlstrom: Links up with San Jose
Wahlstrom signed a professional tryout with the Sharks on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Wahlstrom was a free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Bruins in June. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, Wahlstrom also has an AHL deal in place with the Barracuda if he fails to make the NHL roster. The 25-year-old winger had just six points in 43 appearances between the Bruins and the Islanders in 2024-25.

Wahlstrom made 43 NHL appearances between the Islanders and Bruins last year and recorded three goals, three assists, 37 PIM, 34 hits and 30 blocked shots while averaging 10:14 of ice time. He'll hit free agency during the offseason but will likely have to spend some time in the minors next year.

Bruins' Oliver Wahlstrom: Placed on waivers

Wahlstrom was waived by the Islanders in mid-December and was claimed by Boston. He played 16 games in a Boston uniform, scoring once and adding an assist after tallying two goals and four points over 27 contests with the Islanders. Wahlstrom likely will be sent to AHL Providence if he clears waivers.

Bruins' Oliver Wahlstrom: Ready to rock
Wahlstrom (illness) will play against the Rangers on Saturday, Andrew Fantucchio of Boston Hockey Now reports.
Wahlstrom was a healthy scratch for two straight outings before missing the last two games because of an illness. He has produced three goals, six points, 50 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and 24 hits across 39 appearances between the Bruins and Islanders this season. Wahlstrom will probably occupy a bottom-six role in Saturday's matchup, but it's unclear who he will replace in the lineup.

Bruins' Oliver Wahlstrom: Out again Thursday
Wahlstrom (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Jets, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Wahlstrom will miss his fourth straight game. The 24-year-old winger may not immediately join the lineup even once he's healthy, but the Bruins have not specified if Thursday's absence is due to the illness or as a healthy scratch.

Wahlstrom has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sabres due to an illness, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Bruins' Oliver Wahlstrom: Adds assist in win
Wahlstrom logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Wahlstrom was scratched for the previous two games, but Trent Frederic's (illness) absence Monday opened a spot in the lineup. With Mark Kastelic (undisclosed) also going on injured reserve Tuesday, Wahlstrom could get a longer look in the lineup, though he'll have to compete with Max Jones and Patrick Brown. Wahlstrom is at six points, 49 shots on net, 22 hits, 28 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 38 appearances between the Bruins and the Islanders this season.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Placed on waivers
Wahlstrom was placed on waivers Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Wahlstom has been a disappointment since he was selected 11th overall in the 2018 Draft. Wahlstrom had 34 goals and 33 assists across 193 games heading into the 2024-25 campaign. His game has regressed over the last three seasons, culminating in tallying only two goals and four points in 27 appearances this season. Should Wahlstrom pass through waivers, he likely will be sent to AHL Bridgeport.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Scores in win Saturday
Wahlstrom scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Wahlstrom has picked up two points over his last three games. The 24-year-old has been in the lineup regularly since the start of November, but he has little to show for it on offense while filling a bottom-six role. Overall, he's at four points, 28 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 24 appearances. Stronger play in the short term will help Wahlstrom stay in the lineup once the Islanders get Mathew Barzal (upper body) and Anthony Duclair (lower body) back from injury.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Stops eight-game slide
Wahlstrom picked up an assist along with one shot and one block in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
Wahlstrom directed a puck to Anders Lee for the Islanders' lone goal. The helper halted an eight-game run without a point. The third-line winger has just one goal and two assists through 22 outings.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Hands out helper
Wahlstrom recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Wahlstrom has earned two points over his last four outings, accounting for all of his offense this season. It's been enough to keep him in the lineup for seven straight games as he fends off a playing-time challenge from Hudson Fasching. Wahlstrom has added 13 shots on net, seven PIM and a minus-5 rating over 13 appearances this season. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for depth scoring since he is averaging just 9:45 of ice time.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Tallies first goal of season
Wahlstrom scored a goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
Wahlstrom earned his first goal and point of the season at 2:41 of the third period, and the tally stood as the game-winner. The winger has added 10 shots on net, seven PIM, two hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He's not a lock for the lineup and has often seen a fourth-line role when he plays. Wahlstrom will continue to compete with Pierre Engvall, Matt Martin and Hudson Fasching for three spots in the lineup as depth wingers.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Picks fight Friday
Wahlstrom had a fighting major in Friday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
Wahlstrom had been scratched for the previous three games. The 24-year-old winger is competing with Hudson Fasching and Matt Martin for a spot in the lineup. Wahlstrom has no points through seven games, and he's added a modest four shots on net, two hits, three blocked shots and seven PIM while seeing fourth-line usage. He'll have a chance to stake his claim to a lineup spot while Mathew Barzal (upper body) is on long-term injured reserve for likely all of November.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Signs one-year contract
Wahlstrom penned a one-year contract with the Islanders on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Wahlstrom and the Islanders avoided arbitration, agreeing to the one-year deal. Wahlstrom has been a huge disappointment since he was drafted 11th overall in 2018. He managed to score just a pair of goals and six points in 32 regular-season games in 2023-24, as he was a healthy scratch in 24 consecutive games, before seeing action in the regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh. Wahlstrom is expected to see bottom-six minutes in 2024-25, which will hamper his fantasy value.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Available to play
Wahlstrom (illness) took part in the morning skate after missing Monday's practice, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.
It appears as though Wahlstrom will be available to play Tuesday against Edmonton, but Rosner doesn't expect the 23-year-old forward to be in the lineup. Wahlstrom has supplied seven points, 23 shots on goal, 13 blocked shots and 15 hits in 17 appearances this season. He has been a healthy scratch for the past seven games.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Absent with illness
Wahlstrom missed practice Monday due to illness, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.
Wahlstrom has been a healthy scratch for the club's last seven games so his potential absence against the Oilers on Tuesday shouldn't have much impact on the lineup. Wahlstrom has recorded two goals on 23 shots, three assists and 15 hits while averaging 11:39 of ice time per game over 17 outings.

Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Good for two points in win
Wahlstrom scored a goal with an assist in Friday's 5-3 road win against the Senators.

He has points in consecutive games for the first time this season, posting a goal and three points. It was his first multi-point showing since notching two helpers on Dec. 16, 2022 on the road against the Coyotes.
