Islanders' Brock Nelson: Notches apple in loss
Brock 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: Carries offense in loss
Brock 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
Brock 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.
