Wahlstrom recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks. - Wahlstrom has earned two points over his last four outings, accounting for all of his offense this season. It's been enough to keep him in the lineup for seven straight games as he fends off a playing-time challenge from Hudson Fasching. Wahlstrom has added 13 shots on net, seven PIM and a minus-5 rating over 13 appearances this season. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for depth scoring since he is averaging just 9:45 of ice time per game. |

Wahlstrom scored a goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators. - Wahlstrom earned his first goal and point of the season at 2:41 of the third period, and the tally stood as the game-winner. The winger has added 10 shots on net, seven PIM, two hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He's not a lock for the lineup and has often seen a fourth-line role when he plays. Wahlstrom will continue to compete with Pierre Engvall, Matt Martin and Hudson Fasching for three spots in the lineup as depth wingers. |

Wahlstrom had a fighting major in Friday's 4-3 win over the Sabres. - Wahlstrom had been scratched for the previous three games. The 24-year-old winger is competing with Hudson Fasching and Matt Martin for a spot in the lineup. Wahlstrom has no points through seven games, and he's added a modest four shots on net, two hits, three blocked shots and seven PIM while seeing fourth-line usage. He'll have a chance to stake his claim to a lineup spot while Mathew Barzal (upper body) is on long-term injured reserve for likely all of November. |

Wahlstrom penned a one-year contract with the Islanders on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Wahlstrom and the Islanders avoided arbitration, agreeing to the one-year deal. Wahlstrom has been a huge disappointment since he was drafted 11th overall in 2018. He managed to score just a pair of goals and six points in 32 regular-season games in 2023-24, as he was a healthy scratch in 24 consecutive games, before seeing action in the regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh. Wahlstrom is expected to see bottom-six minutes in 2024-25, which will hamper his fantasy value. |

Wahlstrom (illness) took part in the morning skate after missing Monday's practice, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - It appears as though Wahlstrom will be available to play Tuesday against Edmonton, but Rosner doesn't expect the 23-year-old forward to be in the lineup. Wahlstrom has supplied seven points, 23 shots on goal, 13 blocked shots and 15 hits in 17 appearances this season. He has been a healthy scratch for the past seven games. |

Wahlstrom missed practice Monday due to illness, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - Wahlstrom has been a healthy scratch for the club's last seven games so his potential absence against the Oilers on Tuesday shouldn't have much impact on the lineup. Wahlstrom has recorded two goals on 23 shots, three assists and 15 hits while averaging 11:39 of ice time per game over 17 outings. |

Wahlstrom scored a goal with an assist in Friday's 5-3 road win against the Senators. - Wahlstrom was good for a plus-2 rating, one shot on goal and three blocked shots in just 10:04 of ice time across 17 shifts. He has points in consecutive games for the first time this season, posting a goal and three points. It was his first multi-point showing since notching two helpers on Dec. 16, 2022 on the road against the Coyotes. |

Wahlstrom scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. - Sandwiched between two defenders in the Minnesota zone, Wahlstrom still managed to snap off a shot from the faceoff circle that beat Marc-Andre Fleury just inside the far post. The 23-year-old has played only six of the Islanders' 11 games so far as he gets eased back into action following a knee injury that ended his 2022-23 campaign in late December, and Tuesday's tally was his first point of the current season. |

Wahlstrom (knee) inked a one-year contract with the Islanders on Monday. - Wahlstrom signed his qualifying offer of $874,125, according to Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News. The 23-year-old Wahlstrom collected seven goals, 16 points, 70 shots on net and 50 hits in 35 appearances during the 2022-23 season. He wasn't able to return to the lineup after sustaining a knee injury Dec. 27 versus Pittsburgh, but the winger expects to be ready for training camp in the fall. |

Wahlstrom is expected to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 season. - Wahlstrom sustained a lower-body injury in late December that ultimately ended his campaign. He had 16 points in 35 games, and he'll look to more solidly cement himself in the Islanders' lineup next season. |

Wahlstrom (lower body) won't return to the Islanders this season, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Wahlstrom hasn't played since Dec. 27 after suffering an injury against the Penguins. The 22-year-old winger will finish the season with seven goals and 16 points in 35 games. Wahlstrom, a first-round pick in 2018, will look to return to full health before the 2023-24 season. |
None |

It's looking more and more like Wahlstrom (lower body) won't return this season, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - The Islanders have never announced the exact nature of the injury but is expected to be related to his knee or ankle. Wahlstrom is expected to make a full recovery, but that recovery doesn't seem that it will get him back into game action until October. The team has missed Wahlstrom as he is a pure shooter, something the organization severely lacks. |

Wahlstrom (leg) is in a cast and on crutches, leaving his status for the remainder of the season in doubt, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom has been out for nearly six weeks already, and the fact that he's still in need of mobility aids suggests his return is not on the horizon. He'll likely be out for the rest of February at a minimum, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Islanders make a splash for a middle-six forward at the trade deadline if Wahlstrom doesn't make much progress before then. |

Wahlstrom (lower body) is still not close to being ready to return to the lineup, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wednesday will mark the 14th straight game that Wahlstrom has missed due to the injury. The Islanders have been struggling to score goals, as they only have 17 tallies in their last 10 games. Even if he were healthy and playing, Wahlstrom wouldn't be an immediate cure for what ails the team, but he could certainly help get them on the right path. The Isles haven't announced the exact nature of Wahlstrom's injury or a timetable for his return, but it seems unlikely he'll be ready to return before the All-Star break. |

Wahlstrom (lower body) hasn't resumed skating, Stefen Rosner of NYI Hockey Now reports. - Wahlstrom, who has been out since Dec. 27, remains on injured reserve.

Wahlstrom suffered a suspected head injury during Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - If Wahlstrom did in fact suffer a head injury, it's hard to imagine him being available for Thursday's game versus Columbus.

Wahlstrom (undisclosed) was forced to leave the game early Tuesday after taking a high hit from Pierre-Olivier Joseph of the Penguins, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports. - Wahlstrom seemed unstable on his skates as he went to the dressing room, which would make you wonder if we're dealing with a possible concussion here. The injury occurred during the first shift of the game for Wahlstrom, as he only played 0:24. |
None |

Wahlstrom hasn't scored a goal in his last six games and has only lit the lamp once in his last 12. - Wahlstrom has what might be the best shot on the team, and the coaching staff has admitted they need to find a way to get him the puck in open ice so he can unleash it, but to this point in the season, they have not been successful in that endeavor. Wahlstrom has seven goals in 33 games this season after finishing last year with 13 goals in 73. |

Wahlstrom produced two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Coyotes. - Wahlstrom helped out on Mathew Barzal's goal in the first period as well as Anthony Beauvillier's third-period marker. Over the last five games, Wahlstrom has racked up a goal and three assists, making this one of his best stretches of the season. He's been listed on the top line at even strength, but he's exceeded 15 minutes of ice time just twice all season. The winger has seven goals, nine helpers, 63 shots on net, 36 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-6 rating in 30 contests overall. |
None |

Wahlstrom scored a goal during Friday's 6-4 victory over the host Devils. - Wahlstrom, who notched his first marker in six outings Friday, has secured points in back-to-back games for the fifth time this season. The 22-year-old right winger scored 34 seconds after Casey Cizikas as the Islanders pulled out to a 4-1, second-period advantage. Wahlstrom contributed four shots and two hits during 12:53 of ice time, including 1:07 on the power play, against the Devils. |

Wahlstrom hasn't registered a point in his last four games. - Wahlstrom has six goals and six assists in 25 games this season but only two goals in his last 18 games. Currently, Wahlstrom is playing on the top line with Mathew Barzal and Josh Bailey, but one has to wonder if coach Lane Lambert will shake up his lines once Kyle Palmieri and Cal Clutterbuck return from upper body injuries. |
None |

Wahlstrom scored a goal and recorded three shots and two hits during Friday's 3-2 victory over the host Blue Jackets. - Wahlstrom, who scored his first goal in five games Friday, appears to be playing with more confidence. With 31 career goals in 147 games, Wahlstrom has yet to live up to the promise of his 2018 No. 11 overall draft selection. In the past two games, however, Wahlstrom has received first-line minutes with leading scorer Mathew Barzal and top rookie prospect Simon Holmstrom. Both linemates earned helpers on Wahlstrom's game-opening marker Friday, generated by a wrist shot from the top of the right face-off circle. |
None |
| Nov. 14, 2022 |
Wahlstrom scored a goal in a 4-2 win against Ottawa on Monday. - Wahlstrom's goal was also his first power-play point of the season. He's up to five goals and nine points in 16 contests, which is a bit high compared to his point-per-game pace over the previous two campaigns. He'll probably slow down as the season goes on, given that he's averaging under 12:00 of ice time. Even Monday, he logged just 10:01, including 0:30 on the power play. |

Wahlstrom was demoted to the fourth line Tuesday versus the Rangers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Coach Lane Lambert has not been pleased with Wahlstrom, especially after the winger failed to register a shot on goal in over 11 minutes of ice time versus the Flames on Monday. Wahlstrom started the game on a line with Casey Cizikas and Matt Martin. That trio, however, is unlikely to last long as there was only a spot open because Cal Clutterbuck had to miss the game because of an undisclosed injury. If Clutterbuck can play Thursday versus the Coyotes, he will be back on that line, and Lambert will then have to find someplace else for Wahlstrom to play. |

Wahlstrom connected on a first-period goal during a 6-2 victory over the Hurricanes on Friday. - Wahlstrom, who had been held without a point during his past four outings, opened the scoring Friday by converting a first-period, 2-on-1 breakaway with Mathew Barzal. It was the first point for the 22-year-old right winger since executing a two-goal game against the Sharks on Oct. 18. Wahlstrom, who scored 13 goals in 73 games last season, registered two shots against the Hurricanes after failing to record a shot versus the Rangers on Wednesday. |

Wahlstrom will get a chance to play on the top line with Mathew Barzal and Josh Bailey, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom is probably the closest to a power forward that the Islanders have. That being said, this team is desperate for goal-scoring. Coach Lane Lambert is hoping that with teams worrying about the skating ability of Barzal, the shooting lanes for Wahlstrom will be open. The team has only scored six goals in their last three games, and Lambert hasn't been shy about mixing and matching his lines. How long this trio will be together will almost directly be related to how they perform on the ice. |

Wahlstrom scored two goals, leading the Islanders to a 5-2 victory over the Sharks on Tuesday. - Wahlstrom, who scored the game-winner off a faceoff, was in a position to convert the clean draw by center Brock Nelson at 19:04 of the second period. The eventual game-winner concluded a three-goal frame for the Islanders, who fell behind early. His second goal early in the third period developed off a Sharks turnover. The 2018 first-round draft pick has multi-point efforts in both appearances this season. |

Wahlstrom (upper body) will make his return Saturday versus Anaheim, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Wahlstrom wasn't in the lineup for the Islanders' 3-1 loss to Florida on Thursday because of the injury. He had 13 goals and 24 points in 73 games in 2021-22. Now that he's healthy, he's expected to play on the third line with Josh Bailey and Jean-Gabriel Pageau. |

Wahlstrom (upper body) expects to be ready for the Islanders' season opener on Thursday against Florida, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. - Wahlstrom sustained an upper-body injury during the preseason. He has been back skating with the team of late, but was an extra in Monday's practice. |
None |
| Oct. 8, 2022 |
Wahlstrom skated with the extra for the Islanders before their game Saturday versus the Rangers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom has missed several practices over the past few days, but his skating with the team would seem to indicate that he could've played Saturday had this been a regular season game. Since the Islanders don't open their season until Thursday, Wahlstrom should have enough time to get several practices under his belt and be in the season-opening lineup versus the Panthers. |

Wahlstrom ended the season without scoring a point in his last 12 games for the Islanders. - Wahlstrom also only had one goal in his last 17 games for the Islanders. There is plenty of speculation throughout the NHL about why general manager Lou Lamoriello decided to fire coach Barry Trotz, but part of that speculation is about how Trotz handled young players like Wahlstrom. The Islanders will hope that whomever they choose to bring in as their next head coach will have more success with young players like Kieffer Bellows, Simon Holmstrom, and Wahlstrom. |
None |

Wahlstrom has gone nine straight games without registering a point for the Islanders. - Wahlstrom has only one goal in his last 14 games for the Isles. The season has been a disappointment for the young sniper as he only has 13 goals and 24 points in 70 games. Wahlstrom has also been a frequent target for the wrath of coach Barry Trotz and has been a healthy scratch several times this season. Wahlstrom likely isn't in danger of being scratched Tuesday as the Isles are down a couple of wingers due to COVID-19 protocol, but the team will want to see more consistent play from Wahlstrom to guarantee a full-time spot for him next season. |

Wahlstrom will be a healthy scratch when the Islanders take on the Penguins on Thursday, Neil Best of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom has once again upset coach Barry Trotz. The coach stated that his issues with Wahlstrom are more about his mental rather than his physical game. It's also common knowledge that Wahlstrom would've been benched before the game Tuesday versus the Penguins if not for the illness that befell Kiefer Bellows. This won't be the first time Trotz has benched Wahlstrom this season, but hopefully, it will be the last. |

Wahlstrom has only lit the lamp once in his last 12 games. - Of course, this is a concern for the Islanders, as Wahlstrom is considered the team's best young goal scorer. It's also concerning that this drought has hit Wahlstrom since he's been placed on a line with Mathew Barzal, who himself has wrinkled the twine in 15 games entering their contest versus the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Coach Barry Trotz has placed both of these players on the third line and seems hesitant to break up his top two units, so this duo may have to figure out how to work with each other in order to be successful. |

Wahlstrom wrinkled the twine as the Islanders defeated the Red Wings 6-1 on Thursday. - The goal was the 12th of the season for Wahlstrom to go along with 10 assists in 56 games. The Islanders will expect more from Wahlstrom next season as coach Barry Trotz has constantly been tutoring him before, during, and after practice. Wahlstrom sometimes feels the wrath of Trotz when his defensive play is lacking, but the future is still bright for the young sniper, and the Isles will hope they have a future 25+ goal scorer on their hands. |

Wahlstrom is expected to play Sunday for the Islanders when they take on the Ducks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom was a healthy scratch Friday but is likely to play instead of Kieffer Bellows on the third line against the Ducks. Wahlstrom may be the best shooter the Islanders have but has also faced the wrath of coach Barry Trotz several times this season, and Trotz has benched him to send a message. Wahlstrom is expected to play on a line with Mathew Barzal and Zach Parise. |

Wahlstrom was a healthy scratch for the game Friday versus the Jets, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - This was the first time in nine games that Wahlstrom has been sat by coach Barry Trotz but not the first time it has happened this season. Trotz believes in tough love and seems to target Wahlstrom for his mistakes by making him ride the pine. It's a curious move by Trotz as the Isles generally struggle to score goals, so sitting one of their better shooters would seem not to be ideal. There is also the likelihood that the Isles aren't going to make the playoffs this season, so they should be playing their younger players as much as possible so that they make those mistakes now rather than when the games have more meaning. |

Wahlstrom notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks. - Wahlstrom set up Kieffer Bellows' breakaway tally in the third period. This snapped a four-game point drought for Wahlstrom, who was last on the scoresheet Feb. 12 with a helper in a loss to the Flames. The 21-year-old winger has cooled off after a good December, and he's at 20 points, 108 shots on net, 61 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-1 rating in 44 contests overall. |

Wahlstrom (upper body) is on track to return to action Thursday against San Jose, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. - Wahlstrom will likely slot into a middle-six role and a spot on one of the Isles' power-play units Thursday. The 21-year-old winger has picked up 10 goals, 19 points and 37 PIM through 41 contests this campaign. |
None |

Wahlstrom (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Seattle due to "precautionary reasons," Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom could probably play Tuesday if needed, but the Islanders don't want to force him into action before he's 100 percent healthy. Another update on Wahlstrom should be released prior to Thursday's matchup with the Sharks. |
None |
| Feb. 21, 2022 |
Wahlstrom (upper body) may be available against the Kraken on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom appears to be trending in the right direction, though coach Barry Trotz wouldn't confirm the winger's return to action. Before suffering his upper-body injury, the Massachusetts native managed just one point in his previous six contests and is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward. |
None |

Wahlstrom is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. - Wahlstrom should be considered iffy at best for Sunday's matchup with Montreal. If Wahlstrom's unable to go, look for Cal Clutterbuck or Ross Johnston to draw into the lineup against the Canadiens. |
None |

Wahlstrom recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flames. - Wahlstrom earned the secondary assist on a Jean-Gabriel Pageau goal in the second period. In his last six games, Wahlstrom has two goals, one assist and 15 shots on net. The 21-year-old doesn't hesitate to shoot -- he's fired 105 pucks on target this season, yielding 10 goals and nine assists in 39 appearances. His presence on the top power-play unit will keep him an intriguing option in deeper fantasy formats. |

Wahlstrom leads the Islanders in power-play goals with five and is tied with Mathew Barzal for the lead in power-play points with eight. - Wahlstrom possesses a hard shot, and the Islanders look to set up that shot during their power play. Wahlstrom has ten goals and eight assists on the season, so almost half of his points come on the power play. Coach Barry Trotz would like to see Wahlstrom play better five on five, but Wahlstrom is tied with Matt Martin for the best rating among forwards with a plus-2. Wahlstrom will look to light the lamp when the Islanders take on the Oilers on Friday. |

Wahlstrom scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Wild. - Wahlstrom tallied with 4:00 left in regulation, poke-checking the puck past Kaapo Kahkonen, but the Islanders couldn't rally for a tying goal. The tally snapped a 12-game goal drought for Wahlstrom, though he salvaged some value with seven assists in that span. The talented 21-year-old is up to 17 points, 93 shots on net, 35 PIM and 49 hits through 34 contests. His bottom-six role at even strength isn't great for fantasy, but he remains a presence on the top power-play unit, where he's collected eight of his points this season. |

Wahlstrom will play when the Islanders take on the Flyers on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom was a healthy scratch as the Islanders lost to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Coach Barry Trotz has been critical about the lack of consistency in the play of Wahlstrom and stated that as the main reason he sat Saturday. Trotz is slow to trust younger players as he has been criticized both for how he handles Wahlstrom and for how he handled young defenseman Noah Dobson last season. The Islanders need Wahlstrom to play as he is one of the few goal scorers they possess. |

Wahlstrom logged an assist, five shots on goal, four PIM and three hits in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers. - Wahlstrom set up Anthony Beauvillier's third-period insurance tally. The 21-year-old Wahlstrom looked good in December with three goals and seven helpers, but this was his first point in three January outings. The American winger is up to 16 points, 81 shots on net, 45 hits and 33 PIM through 29 contests overall as he continues a strong season in a middle-six role. |

Wahlstrom didn't play Saturday in the Islanders 3-2 overtime victory over the Oilers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - No word was given as to why Wahlstrom didn't play, but coach Barry Trotz stated Friday that one of Anthony Beauvillier and Wahlstrom was closer to playing than the other. The truth might be that Wahlstrom wasn't quite up to playing physically after his bout with COVID-19, and with the Islanders now not scheduled to play again until Jan. 13, the team may have thought it prudent to hold him out of the game. Trotz also missed the game Saturday due to personal reasons. |

Wahlstrom cleared COVID-19 protocols and returned to practice Friday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Wahlstrom, who had multiple points in five of his last eight games before the break, should slot into the lineup for Saturday afternoon's game against Edmonton. |
None |

Wahlstrom has landed in the league's COVID-19 protocols, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - The Islanders saw four of their players land on the league's COVID-19 protocols, meaning they will be quite shorthanded when they take on the Red Wings on Dec. 29 -- if the league resumes, that is. The 21-year-old forward registered seven assists over his previous six games and will try to keep that run going once he clears the protocols. |

Wahlstrom notched two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Golden Knights. - The 21-year-old continues to come on strong in December. Wahlstrom has five multi-point performances in his last seven games, racking up 10 of his 15 points on the season (three goals, seven helpers) during that red-hot stretch. |
None |
| Dec. 11, 2021 |
Wahlstrom could be given a bump up to one of the top-two lines for the Islanders in the near future, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - This season, Wahlstrom has played mainly on the third line but has had the occasional shift with Mathew Barzal on the top line or Brock Nelson on the second line. Wahlstrom is averaging just over 13 minutes of ice time per game which seems light for a player who is second on the team in goals with eight and tied for the team lead in power-play points with five. Coach Barry Trotz points out that he is not fully satisfied with the play of Wahlstrom in his own end, and that is the reason for his limited playing time. The problem is the Islanders are last in the league in goals for with 46, and it would seem moving Wahlstrom up to a top-six forward and giving him the accompanying playing time could only help this situation. |

Wahlstrom dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Predators. - Wahlstrom has become the focal point of the Islanders' power play -- he leads the team with four power-play goals and has pulled into a tie with Mathew Barzal for the lead in power-play points with five. He's also been getting it done at even strength lately, as Wahlstrom has three multi-point games in the last four, accounting for more than half of his 11 points this season. |

Wahlstrom scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Senators. - The trio of Wahlstrom, Kieffer Bellows and Austin Czarnik provided a spark in the victory with two goals and six points between them, helping Wahlstrom collect his second multi-point effort in the last three games. The 21-year-old remains primarily a sniper -- Tuesday's helper was his first of the season, against eight goals through 21 games -- but four of his tallies have come on the power play, giving him some deep-league fantasy value. |

Wahlstrom scored a pair of power-play goals and added 17 PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings. - Wahlstrom had an eventful game, earning an instigator and a misconduct in addition to his fighting major in a bout with Adam Erne in the first period. After he served his time, Wahlstrom tallied both of the Islanders' equalizers on the power play, the latter ultimately forcing overtime. The two-goal game snapped his 10-game point drought.

Wahlstrom has gone without a point in nine straight games for the Islanders. - Wahlstrom is still second on the Islanders in goal with five, but his troubles echo the teams as the Islanders sit last in the NHL in goals scored with 32. Not only is that number the least in the NHL, but it's 10 goals behind the Coyotes, who are next to last. If you can call it that, the good news is that the Islanders have also played the least amount of games in the NHL with 17. The Islanders have had their season schedule interrupted due to a Covid-19 outbreak. They hope to practice Wednesday and then play the Sharks on Thursday, but that likely depends on how the team does in their Covid-19 testing when they report to their practice facility on Wednesday. |

Coach Barry Trotz stated after the Islanders' 4-1 loss to the Lightning on Monday that Wahlstrom was only in the lineup because Casey Cizikas (illness) couldn't play, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Trotz also stated that Wahlstrom hasn't been paying attention to the little things in his game. The good news is that Trotz mentioned that Wahlstrom did play better in this contest than he had of late. Should Cizikas (illness) play Tuesday in Florida, then Trotz will likely have to decide whether Wahlstrom or Kieffer Bellows will be a healthy scratch. |
