  • The Bruins need scoring and they don't have much cap space. So when a cost-effective opportunity presented itself on Saturday, they took it. The B's, ranked 29th in offense (2.48 goals per game), claimed one time 11th overall pick Oliver Wahlstrom off waivers from the New York Islanders.

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. His move to the Bruins comes as they look to bolster their roster, especially with injuries to key players like Charlie McAvoy and Pavel Zacha. 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.
