Former New York Islanders whipping boy, Brock Nelson, has been anything but that in the 2018-2019 season. After arguably his worst season as a pro in 2017-2018, Nelson has given the Islanders his best and changed the narrative surrounding his name.
Nelson was always someone who could shoot but not much else. He often went cold for an elongated period of time giving the New York Islanders virtually nothing in return.
Those days are long gone. Not only has Nelly scored consistently this year he has also developed a nice two-way game. Yes, Brock Nelson is one of the Islanders better two-way forwards.
