The Boston Bruins have claimed right wing Oliver Wahlstrom off waivers from the New York Islanders. Wahlstrom, who was the 11th overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, had been with the Islanders for parts of five seasons, accumulating 27 goals and 20 assists in 119 games. This season, he played in 11 games for the Islanders, scoring one goal and one assist.

Wahlstrom, at 23 years old, is seen as a young talent with potential, having previously shown promise with a 22-point season in 2022-23.
