Islanders: 3 Players Who Were Better Than Expected Offensively In 2019-20

The last two years, the Islanders have put the offense on the backburner while they try to transition to a more defensive team. It's been effective as they made the playoffs last year and can make it this year if they beat Florida in the qualifying round in a few weeks.

A majority of the team has seen a dip in offensive production over the last two years but this year, we were on the verge of seeing career years for three guys before the season came to a close.

These three Islanders were on pace to have improvements in 2019-20:

68 games - 54 points (26 goals, 28 assists) - 82 game pace: 65 points

Brock Nelson under Barry Trotz has completely turned his career around.
