Adds two points Monday Nelson notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Toronto.

Impact Nelson got the Islanders on the board midway through the first period, firing a turnaround wrist shot past Ilya Samsonov to tie the game 1-1. Nelson would add an assist in the second on a Kyle Palmieri goal. The 32-year-old center has been productive of late, tallying six points (two goals, four assists) over his last five contests. Nelson now has 12 goals and 10 assists through 27 games this year.

First points in four games Nelson had two assists in a 4-3 win over the Panthers on Saturday.

Impact Both were secondary assists. The first came on Anders Lee's power-play marker in the first, and his second was on Pierre Engvall's second-period wrister that put the Isles up 2-1. The helpers were Nelson's first in four games, and first since a five-game, eight-point streak that started in the middle of November. He's slightly off his career 75-point pace from last season, but he is on pace for his third straight 30-plus goal campaign. Nelson is among the league's most underrated performers.

Pushes point streak to five games Nelson picked up two assists in Friday's 5-3 road win against the Senators.

Impact One of Nelson's helpers came on the power-play goal for Mathew Barzal midway through the second period. He ended up with three shots on goal, a blocked shot and a hit in 16:38 of ice time, while winning just two of his six faceoff opportunities. Nelson has picked up four goals with eight points and a plus-4 rating during his current five-game point streak. He'll look to extend the streak Saturday against the visiting Flyers.

Four-game, six-point streak Nelson scored two goals in a 3-2 win over the Flyers on Wednesday.

Impact Nelson scored the Isles' second goal at 13:10 of the second period when he redirected a point shot past Carter Hart. He tapped in a backdoor pass from Pierre Engvall at 2:33 of the third that stood as the winner. Don't look now, but Nelson is on a four-game, six-point streak that includes four goals. Overall, he has 10 goals and 14 points, and at this pace, Nelson could deliver his first 40-goal campaign. The 32-year-old should get a whole lot more respect than he does.

Big jump in shots, goals Nelson had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 shootout win over the Flames on Saturday.

Impact He's on a three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists). Nelson is far off his career pace of 75 points, which he set last season. But he has become a shooting machine (62 in 17 games) and that's translating into his best goal pace ever (eight goals; 17 games). Nelson's shooting rate (12.9) is actually lower than his career average of 14.4, so theoretically, he should have a couple more snipes. At this rate, he might flirt with 50 goals. We doubt it, but stranger things have happened.

Strikes on power play Nelson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Nelson put the Islanders ahead 2-0 in the first period with his seventh goal of the season. The 32-year-old center has slowed down a bit with two tallies over his last six games. For the season, he's at nine points (two on the power play), 56 shots and a minus-5 rating through 15 contests.

Another two-point game Nelson had a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win over Washington on Thursday.

Impact Nelson went five-hole from the bottom of the left circle on the rush at 11:15 of the third period. He has five goals on the season, but the assist was his first since opening night. Nelson is a classic late-bloomer -- now 32, his best play has come since his 30th birthday. In the last two seasons, he has put up 73 goals and 61 assists (154 games), and appears poised to hover around that type of production in 2023-24.

Contributes goal in loss Nelson tallied a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit on Monday.

Impact Nelson brought his four-game scoring drought to an end. He has four goals and five points in eight contests this year. That's not bad, though his current offensive pace is behind last year, when he recorded 75 points in 82 outings. That was by far the 32-year-old's best campaign -- his next highest point total in 59 in 2021-22 -- and it wouldn't be surprising if he finishes shy of his career high this season.
