  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Goal, assist in home state

    Nelson produced a goal on a team-high eight shots, an assist, one hit, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Minnesota.

    Nelson logged the primary assist on Kyle Palmieri's 16th goal of 2024-25 before he gave New York a 2-1 lead in the opening 28 seconds of the middle frame. Nelson has been subject to trade speculation due to his pending unrestricted free agent status, but New York has crept into the playoff race recently, so General Manager Lou Lamoriello may have to be blown away with an offer in order to concede a top-six center. Nelson is at 17 goals and 35 points through 55 appearances this season. The 33-year-old won't have any time off during the break -- he'll don the Team USA sweater at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Nets fourth winner of season

    Nelson scored the game-winning goal Tuesday in a 2-1 victory over Vegas.

    It was his fourth game winner of the season. Nelson redirected an Alexander Romanov point shot over Ilya Samsonov's glove from deep in the left face-off circle midway through the third period for Nelson's 15th goal and 32nd point of the season (52 games). Nelson's pace is well below his brilliance of the last three seasons (107 goals, 96 assists in 236 games). With his pedigree and an expiring contract, Nelson remains a strong trade target for many contenders, but the Islanders may opt to keep him for a playoff push after moving within three points of a playoff spot with eight wins in their last nine games.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Completes comeback in overtime

    Nelson scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

    Nelson finished the Islanders' comeback with his goal 2:03 into the extra session. The 33-year-old has been stellar lately with five goals and five assists over his last eight contests, and his play hasn't dropped even with a return to the second line after a stint on the top line. The center is up to 15 goals (four game-winners), 31 points, 122 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 48 appearances.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Another multi-point effort

    Nelson recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

    Nelson participated in the build-up of Anthony Duclair's goal in the first period and later closed out the scoring by lighting the lamp in the second frame. Nelson has recorded four multi-point efforts over his last seven appearances, a stretch in which he's racked up nine points (four goals, five assists), 20 shots, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Two points in victory

    Nelson netted a goal on four shots, logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 over San Jose.

    This was Nelson's third multi-point effort in his last five games, as he's notched three goals, four helpers and a plus-5 rating over that stretch. The left-shot center scored his 13th goal of the campaign in the middle frame before adding an assist on Ryan Pulock's third tally of the season early in the third. Nelson has been subject to trade speculation as a result of the Islanders' struggles this season, and he could be a solid addition for a contending team -- the 33-year-old potted at least 34 goals in each of the previous three campaigns. Nelson's well short of that pace with 13 goals and 28 points through 45 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Goals in consecutive games

    Nelson scored a goal on four shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 2-1 win over Utah.

    Nelson has scored twice and added an assist over the last two games after being limited to four helpers over the prior 17 contests. His tally Saturday tied the game at 1-1 early in the third period. Nelson is up to 12 goals, 24 points, 105 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 42 appearances this season. He's got budding chemistry on a line with Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee, which could carry the Islanders' offense for a while.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Ends lengthy goal drought

    Nelson scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    Nelson had been limited to four assists during a 17-game goal drought. He picked up a helper on an Anders Lee goal in the first period before putting his slump to rest with a second-period tally of his own. Despite his recent struggles, Nelson has actually moved up in the lineup to the top line between Lee and Mathew Barzal. For the season, Nelson is at 11 goals, 23 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 41 appearances. A large part of his struggles can be blamed on the Islanders' abysmal power-play performance -- they're converting at just 10.9 percent this season, and Nelson has just one power-play point after registering at least 14 in each of the last three campaigns.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Contributes assist Saturday

    Nelson notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Nelson has four assists over his last seven games, but he had no points over the six contests prior to that. He's still struggling to score, and that's not helped by the fact he's gone nine games and counting without putting multiple shots on net. The 33-year-old center is at 21 points, 92 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 36 appearances. Those season-long numbers suggest he'll turn things around and get back to being a volume shooter, which should in turn help his offense.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Gone quiet

    Nelson has been quiet offensively, registering just three assists across his past 12 games dating back to Nov. 29.

    Nelson has 10 goals and 20 points through 35 appearances in 2024-25, which would translate to roughly 47 points by the end of the regular season if he maintained that pace. That's well below his 2023-24 finish of 34 markers and 69 points in 82 regular-season outings, and it'd also be just the second time Nelson has failed to hit the 50-point mark across the past seven years (the only other time he missed in that stretch was the shortened 2020-21 campaign). Nelson has also managed only six shots over his past eight games -- well below his average of 2.7 shots per game dating back to the start of 2021-22 -- which highlights just how quiet he's been recently.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Notches apple in loss

    Nelson produced an even-strength assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Nelson picked up the primary assist on Noah Dobson's fourth goal of the season early in the third period. Nelson has dished an assist in three consecutive games, but he's mired in a nine-game goal drought. The left-shot center has struggled on the man advantage as well -- he has just one power-play goal this season after potting nine in 2023-24. Nelson is up 10 goals and 20 points while averaging 19:18 of ice time through 32 games. He'll look to extend his point streak to four games Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Picks up assist in loss

    Nelson logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.

    Nelson snapped a six-game slump with the helper. Prior to that dry spell, he had seven points over three contests. Consistency is a concern, especially when playing in a low-scoring offense, and it's not great that he has just four shots on net over his last four games. For the season, the 33-year-old center is at 18 points, 87 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 30 appearances.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Carries offense in loss

    Nelson scored two goals and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.

    It's the second three-point performance in three games for Nelson, a stretch in which he's broken out for three goals and seven points. The veteran center hadn't had a multi-point effort prior to that since Oct. 25, but on the season Nelson has 10 goals and 17 points in 23 contests. Mathew Barzal (upper body) has missed all of November while Anthony Duclair (leg) has been sidelined since mid-October, and until they're cleared to return, Nelson will have to keep carrying a bigger share of the scoring load for the Isles.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: In on all three goals in win

    Nelson scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

    Nelson's second-period tally was the game-winner, and he also set up linemate Kyle Palmieri's two goals. This was Nelson's first multi-point effort since Oct. 25, and his third such game of the campaign. The 33-year-old center is up to eight tallies, five assists, 64 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 21 appearances in a second-line role. He's right on track for a fourth straight 30-goal campaign, though a drop in his assist totals could see him struggle to reach the 50-point mark without a turnaround. That said, his goal was his first power-play point of the year, so he's due for some improvement in that area.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Tallies shorthanded in loss

    Nelson scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Nelson gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead in the third period, but it lasted just 37 seconds. The veteran center has three goals and an assist over his last seven contests. For the season, he's produced seven tallies, three helpers, 56 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 18 appearances. Nelson has some value as a depth scorer in fantasy while seeing consistent second-line minutes.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Produces helper

    Nelson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Nelson has three points over his last five games. The 33-year-old center is still in a second-line role, playing alongside Maxim Tsyplakov and Kyle Palmieri as a solid secondary scoring trio. Through 16 contests, Nelson has nine points, 50 shots on net and a plus-3 rating, though he's yet to pick up a power-play point and adds little in the way of physicality.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Scores in loss to Devils

    Nelson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

    Nelson has scored two goals in his last four contests, but the 33-year-old playmaker has struggled to produce at a steady rate. He has six goals, eight points, a plus-1 rating and 49 shots across 15 outings in 2024-25. While his goal total isn't bad, his overall offensive production is subpar by his standards -- Nelson finished each of the previous three campaigns with at least 59 points.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: First point in four games

    Nelson netted a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

    Nelson's fifth tally of 2024-25 was his first point in four games. He had four goals and two assists in his first eight appearances. Nelson cut the Rangers' lead to 3-2 at the 19:52 mark of the second period, but the Islanders had only nine shots on goal in the third frame and didn't get another past Igor Shesterkin.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Nets goal in Saturday's loss

    Nelson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

    Nelson has three points over his last two games. The 33-year-old center continues to play on the second line, offering a bit of depth scoring for the Islanders. He has six points, 28 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances. Nelson is shooting 14.3 percent early on, which is in line with his efficiency in topping the 30-goal mark in each of the last three years, so this appears to be a pretty stable start to the campaign.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Collects pair of points

    Nelson scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.

    Nelson snapped a three-game slump with a goal 1:23 into the first period. He also assisted on a Kyle Palmieri tally in the second. This was Nelson's second multi-point effort of the season, and the 33-year-old center now has three goals, two assists, 25 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through seven appearances.
