BROCK NELSON NEWS

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.

Impact 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 New York's struggles this season, and he'd likely be a solid addition for a contending team -- the 33-year-old has potted at least 34 goals in each of the last three campaigns. The Minnesota native is up to 13 goals and 28 points through 45 appearances in 2024-25.

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.

Impact 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-1rating 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact Nelson picked up the primary assist on Noah Dobson's fourth goal of the season early in the third period. Nelson's banked 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. The Minnesota native is up 10 goals and 20 points while averaging 19:18 of ice time through 32 games. Nelson will look to extend his point streak to four games Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

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

Impact 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.
