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

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
