Wahlstrom scored his first goal as a Bruin during the third period of the club's matchup against the Panthers. It was a clutch goal, too, as it gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead. This was after Sam Reinhart tied the game up less than two minutes before.

Wahlstrom's goal was a nice one, too. He first secured the puck behind the Panthers' net after forechecking hard. Shortly after, he fired home the rebound from Charlie McAvoy's shot. Let's see if Wahlstrom can keep scoring from here.
