Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Absent with illness

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.
