Brock Nelson Scores First Islanders Goals At UBS Arena
3 years agoNew York Islanders center Brock Nelson became a trivia question on Saturday, scoring the team's first two goals at their new barn, the UBS Arena. He bagged a power-play goal in the first period and tallied an even-strength marker in the third but couldn't save the team from a 5-2 loss against the Flames. Nelson fired off a game-high six shots and recorded one block and one hit in nearly 20 minutes on the ice. He started the month with an incredible four-goal effort against Montreal, but the Islanders offense has fallen apart in recent weeks and there hasn't been much success for Nelson. However, he still leads the team with nine goals and 11 points, despite having eight pointless performances in 14 outings.
