Nelson didn't play on Tuesday because of a non-COVID illness. He has accounted for 36 goals, 58 points and 165 shots in 70 games this campaign. 

Nelson has 36 goals and 58 points in 70 contests this season. The Islanders are also set to play on Thursday and Friday before their season wraps up, so we'll have to wait and see if he recovers in time for those games.

Nelson cut the deficit to 3-1 just 37 seconds into the second period and he added a power-play tally in the third frame to make it 5-2. The Islanders forward has put together three multi-point efforts in his last five games. He’s up to an impressive 36 goals and 58 points in 68 games this season. It’s been a long year for the Isles but he’s been a bright spot. 

Nelson has 34 goals and 56 points this season in just 65 games as he has been the leader of the Islanders offense. The 30-year-old is having his best offensive season of his career and while we cannot expect more of the same next season, he could be worth a late round selection in deeper pools for the 2022-23 campaign. .
