Lost in the shuffle of the cuts from the New York Islanders was a fairly nice compliment that was paid to Oliver Wahlstrom. The 19-year-old former first-round pick from 2018 is not going to make the roster but he was rather close according to Lou Lamoriello.
Oliver Wahlstrom showed a lot in his final preseason game against the Rangers at MSG. He was all over the ice and applying pressure to Lundqvist in net. Trotz trusted him and put him out there for 16:55 nearly 17 minutes of ice time for a young winger is impressive, preseason or not.
