Nielsen (undisclosed) agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Berlin Eisbaren on Sunday.
Nielsen spent the past 15 years playing in the NHL for the Islanders and Red Wings. Over that time, the 37-year-old center appeared in 925 games in which he registered 167 goals, 306 assists and 689 blocks while averaging 16:28 of ice time. Despite his long career, the 2002 third-round pick was limited to just 24 postseason appearances, all with New York. While Nielsen's NHL career is likely over at this point, he'll no doubt be hoping his performance with the Eisbaren will earn him a spot on the Danish national team for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics.
