Oliver Wahlstrom - NHL News & Rumors

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 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 per game.

Signs one-year contracy Wahlstrom penned a one-year contract with the Islanders on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact 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.

When Wahlstrom has cracked the lineup, he has recorded two goals on 23 shots, three assists and 15 this while averaging 11:39 of ice time in 17 outings.

Notches first goal of season Wahlstrom scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Sandwiched between two defenders in the Minnesota zone, Wahlstrom still managed to snap off a shot from the faceoff circle that beat Marc-Andre Fleury just inside the far post. The 23-year-old has played only six of the Islanders' 11 games so far as he gets eased back into action following a knee injury that ended his 2022-23 campaign in late December, and Tuesday's tally was his first point of the current season.

Signs one-year contract Wahlstrom (knee) inked a one-year contract with the Islanders on Monday.

Impact Wahlstrom collected seven goals, 16 points, 70 shots on net and 50 hits in 35 appearances during the 2022-23 season. The 23-year-old forward wasn't able to return to the lineup after sustaining a knee injury Dec. 27 versus Pittsburgh, but he expects to be ready for training camp in the fall.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expects to be ready for 2023-24 Wahlstrom is expected to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 season.

Impact Wahlstrom sustained a lower-body injury in late December that ultimately ended his campaign. He had 16 points in 35 games, and he'll look to more solidly cement himself in the Islanders' lineup next season.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out for the year Wahlstrom (lower body) won't return to the Islanders this season, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Wahlstrom hasn't played since Dec. 27 after suffering an injury against the Penguins. The 22-year-old winger will finish the season with seven goals and 16 points in 35 games. Wahlstrom, a first-round pick in 2018, will look to return to full health before the 2023-24 season.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Status for rest of season uncertain Wahlstrom (leg) is in a cast and on crutches, leaving his status for the remainder of the season in doubt, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Wahlstrom has been out for nearly six weeks already, and the fact that he's still in need of mobility aids suggests his return is not on the horizon. He'll likely be out for the rest of February at a minimum, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Islanders make a splash for a middle-six forward at the trade deadline if Wahlstrom doesn't make much progress before then.
