Parker Wotherspoon Stats & Salary Cap

The New York Islanders Drafted Parker Wotherspoon with the 112th Overall Pick in the Fourth Round of the 2015 NHL Draft

Wotherspoon was a fourth-round selection by the New York Islanders in the 2015 NHL Draft. Wotherspoon was a dark horse to make the NHL as Dobber Prospects described him as having “some fine tools on offense and defense. He’s a calm player but it will take a while before he is ready for the NHL.” This scout seemed to be prophetic as the left-shot defenseman played 266 American Hockey League games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers/Islanders team until finally breaking into the NHL.

During the summer after that season, the Boston Bruins signed Wotherspoon to a one-year contract, and the defenseman played 19 games with the Providence Bruins of the AHL and 41 NHL games with Boston, where he compiled eight assists. Wotherspoon was signed to another one-year $800,000 contract by the Bruins for the 2024-25 season and scored his first NHL goal on January 14, 2025 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Wotherspoon will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2024-25 season.
