New York Islanders center Brock Nelson scored twice in their victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday evening. Nelson tallied both of his goals in the second frame. First, he found the back of the net on a wrist shot in the slot off a pass from Maxim Tsyplakov and Adam Pelech. Later in the period, Nelson got on the scoresheet shorthanded on a breakaway after stealing the puck from Cale Makar. Nelson finished the game with five total shots, two blocks, and a +3 rating. Fantasy managers should expect Nelson to continue to serve as the No.2 center, playing alongside Tsyplakov and Kyle Palmieri, and have ample special team opportunities.

New York Islanders center Brock Nelson struck two goals to help the team defeat Philadelphia 3-2 on Wednesday. Nelson took over the scoring after Anders Lee had given the Islanders an early lead. The American forward has sparked into life lately, recording four of his 10 goals this season in his last four appearances. The improved form in front of goal has also helped Nelson to string together a four-game point streak. He's gotten his season back on track after a poor start and will head into the next game with 14 points earned through 18 outings.
