Suspected Head Injury For Oliver Wahlstrom

The injuries are starting to pile up for the Islanders and that list has grown once again as Newsday’s Andrew Gross reports that the team believes that winger Oliver Wahlstrom sustained a head injury in last night’s game against Pittsburgh.  The injury occurred on his first shift of the game and he did not return.  Wahlstrom is on pace to set new career highs offensively with seven goals and nine assists in 35 games so far this season.  He joins Kyle Palmieri, Semyon Varlamov, Adam Pelech, and Cal Clutterbuck as regulars that are currently out of the lineup.
