The call came on Sunday, shortly after Oliver Wahlstrom had arrived home at 7 a.m. from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers’ AHL road game against the Charlotte Checkers the night before, then took a quick nap.
It was the Islanders on the phone. With fellow forwards Jordan Eberle and Casey Cizikas injured, might young Oliver be able to join them for Monday’s game against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blues at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum?
