Oliver Wahlstrom is no stranger to the TD Garden ice.

It was on that frozen sheet that the skilled forward first put himself on the map via a gravity-defying, viral shootout move.

Wahlstrom became a hockey sensation overnight in 2009, with the nine-year-old forward landing on SportsCenter after scoring an absurd tally during a Mini 1-on-1 competition on Causeway Street.

Wahlstrom, who hails from Yarmouth, Maine, and skated on the Portland Jr. Pirates during that tournament, knew that clip would make the rounds after the Bruins claimed him off waivers Saturday afternoon.

“Yeah, I knew that one would come back up,” Wahlstrom told reporters Monday afternoon in Calgary.
