The last two Islanders coaches both ran short on patience with Oliver Wahlstrom. The current one appears to be reaching the same point.
Wahlstrom was taken off the power play amid the shake-up to both units ahead of Wednesday’s match against the Bruins, and coach Patrick Roy did not hold back his feelings about the 24-year-old, who has scored just one goal so far this season.
“If I’m line, I’ll be line, but I do think Wally could offer a little bit more than what he’s been doing at five-on-five, and I’m sure that will bring a lot of confidence for him.” Former US Open tennis champ's life has turned into a 'never-ending nightmare'For the time being, Wahlstrom is still in the Islanders lineup, but Roy said he expects Hudson Fasching to draw back in on Friday against the Capitals.
