Brock Nelson has gone the last eight games without scoring a goal for the New York Islanders. After an initial hot start, to say Nelson cooled off would be an understatement. So, looking at his statistics it’s easy to see why he’s struggling.
Brock isn’t creating nearly enough shots. Last year, arguably his best year in the league (a sad thought) he shot the puck 173 times. On those 173 shots, he was able to net 20 goals giving him a shooting percentage of 11.6 percent.
Right now, through 17 games Brock only has 26 shots on goal.
