Nelson picked up two assists, one shorthanded, in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
He helped set up both of Bo Horvat's tallies on the afternoon, but no other Islander was able to solve Igor Shesterkin. Nelson snapped a brief three-game point drought with the performance, but he's had a very productive month -- over the last 14 games, the 32-year-old has delivered seven multi-point efforts, racking up seven goals and 17 points in total.
