SAN JOSE – With training camp starting later this week, the San Jose Sharks have signed free agent forward Oliver Wahlstrom to a professional tryout agreement, a source confirmed.
Wahlstrom, 25, has 73 points in 236 career NHL regular-season games, having spent five years with the New York Islanders before splitting time last season between the Boston Bruins and their AHL affiliate in Providence.
The Bruins claimed Wahlstrom off waivers on Dec. 14, then waived him in late February and assigned him to the AHL, where he remained the rest of the regular season and playoffs.
Wahlstrom was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Bruins in June and became an unrestricted free agent. He had two points in 16 NHL games with the Bruins last season and 15 points in 19 games in the AHL.
Wahlstrom, taken 11th overall by the Islanders in 2018, has an AHL deal in place with the Barracuda, David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period first reported, if he does not make the Sharks roster out of training camp.
The Sharks begin training camp on Thursday at Sharks Ice in San Jose.
