Oliver Wahlstrom Fantasy Stats

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom isn't expected to remain with the team for the upcoming NHL campaign. The Islanders signed Wahlstrom to a one-year, $1 million deal ahead of a scheduled salary arbitration hearing earlier in the week, but according to Ethan Sears of The New York Post, it would be a "surprise" if Wahlstrom was on the opening night roster. Coming off an ACL injury, Wahlstrom made only 32 appearances last season, posting six points (two goals, four assists). He was mostly a healthy scratch under new head coach Patrick Roy, who arrived in January. The 24-year-old, who was a first-round pick in 2018, has totaled 67 points (34 goals, 33 assists) in 193 career games. A fresh start somewhere else could give Wahlstrom a boost, but he boasts very little fantasy value.

New York Islanders winger Oliver Wahlstrom has signed a new one-year contract with the team, agreeing to his qualifying offer which was worth $874,125. The 23-year-old was a restricted free agent after coming off his entry-level contract. The former first-round pick has tallied 31 goals and 61 points in 161 NHL regular-season appearances. He amassed seven goals and 16 points in 35 games last season before being forced to miss the second half of the campaign with a lower-body injury. Wahlstrom has steadily developed through the years and will hope to nail down a regular top-six spot in 2023-24.

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom had a very unfortunate outing against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, exiting the game after getting hurt on his first shift. He logged just 0:24 of ice time and was injured by a hit from Pittsburgh's Pierre-Olivier Joseph. The team didn't have immediate updates on Wahlstrom and his status for Thursday's clash with Columbus is currently unclear. Wahlstrom has been an effective two-way player on the Islanders' top line, posting 16 points while delivering 50 hits in 35 games. Hudson Fasching took over from him when Wahlstrom left and set up Mathew Barzal for the eventual game-winning goal in a 5-1 victory. He should get a further opportunity to impress in a bigger role if Wahlstrom isn't able to play Thursday.

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom tallied two assists in Friday's 5-4 loss to Arizona, adding three hits with a plus-two rating in 12:04 of ice time. The 22-year-old doesn't play a lot on a nightly basis, averaging only 12:24 of ice time for the season, but Wahlstrom has made an impact at both ends of the ice, recording 16 points with 36 hits in 30 outings. However, the limited playing time means that Wahlstrom's fantasy value is limited and managers should have better options available.

New York Islanders winger Oliver Wahlstrom netted his second and third goals this year in a 5-2 thrashing of the San Jose Sharks. Wahlstrom now has four points in two New York contests. The fourth-year forward is off to a great start after tallying 13 goals and adding 11 helpers in 73 games just one season ago. He's currently skating on the team's third line, but this could change if he regularly jumps on the score sheet.

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom picked up two assists in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Nashville, helping Austin Czarnik and Anders Lee on the scoreboard. The 21-year-old now finds himself on quite a run with three multi-point efforts in four games. Wahlstrom entered the stretch with just five points for the season. He's only a third-liner for the team, but Wahlstrom also logs minutes on the first power-play unit and Lee's goal came with the man advantage on Thursday. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should definitely keep an eye on him.

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom bagged a goal and an assist as the team won for the first time in 12 games on Tuesday against the Senators. He scored the team's second goal and provided the helper on Kieffer Bellows' game-winning goal. Wahlstrom has only nine points in 21 games this season, but he's one of the team's best goal-scorers with eight markers. The 21-year-old is currently skating on the third line with Anthony Beauvillier and Austin Czarnik, who recorded two assists Tuesday night.

New York Islanders forward Oliver Wahlstrom contributed two goals in a 4-1 defeat of the Chicago Blackhawks. Both of his tallies came in the third period. Wahlstrom now has three goals in three Islanders contests. So far, he has been playing on the Islander's third line with former Minnesota Wild Zach Parise and centerman Jean-Gabriel Pageau. Wahlstrom is pretty irrelevant right now in fantasy, but that could change quickly if he continues scoring.

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom has quietly had a couple of very strong weeks, notching five goals in eight games. He was also riding a five-game point streak before the Penguins neutralized the 20-year-old on Saturday. Wahlstrom has nine goals and 16 points for the campaign with 57 shots and 32 hits in 28 games. His linemates have put in good work as well with Anthony Beauvillier riding a four-game goal streak and Jean-Gabriel Pageau being the team's third-best scorer this season. The Islanders have only three games scheduled for next week, but they have two outings in four days to kick off the action on Monday, which makes Wahlstrom an intriguing option for fantasy teams.

New York Islanders forward Oliver Wahlstrom buried his fourth goal of the campaign as his team edged the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Tuesday night. The 20 year-old, who's third-period tally opened the game's scoring, extended his personal point streak to five games - an impressive feat considering he hasn't seen more than 10:53 of ice time over the span. Wahlstrom (5% owned in Yahoo! leagues) serves as a intriguing add while he remains hot but his fantasy upside remains limited until he can earn more time on ice. He'll look to push his streak to six games when the Isles host the struggling Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.
