Boston Bruins Claim Oliver Wahlstrom Off Waivers

The Boston Bruins have claimed forward Oliver Wahlstrom off waivers from the New York Islanders. Wahlstrom, a Maine native and former Boston College player, was the 11th overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft and has played 220 career NHL games, scoring 36 goals and 35 assists. Despite his potential, Wahlstrom struggled with the Islanders recently, scoring only four points in 27 games this season. The Bruins see his addition as a chance to rejuvenate their lineup amid a mixed season performance. Wahlstrom is excited about joining the team he supported as a child and is expected to potentially feature in their upcoming game against the Calgary Flames. His arrival comes as part of broader efforts by the Bruins to improve their roster following recent losses and organizational changes.
