Islanders Send Oliver Wahlstrom back to AHL Activate Jordan Eberle
After nine games with the Islanders, their 2018 first-round draft pick Oliver Wahlstrom has been sent back to the AHL. For now.
Oliver Wahlstrom was called up to cover for injuries to the Islanders top six. With right-wing Jordan Eberle out, it made sense to bring up the first-round pick from 2018.
Wahlstrom was great at the end of the 2018-19 season in the AHL. In ten games, between the regular season and the playoffs, Wahlstrom has seven points. He was just as good during training camp and to start the season with the Sound Tigers.
Calling Wahlstrom up to cover an injury to the top six was a no brainer. After, nine games in the NHL, sending him down was also a no brainer.
