Islanders Prospect Kieffer Bellows Finds Scoring Touch

In his first 19 games with the Sound Tigers, Kieffer Bellows had just one goal. Back in 2016, the New York Islanders selected Kieffer Bellows 19th overall because of his goal-scoring abilities and he has significantly regressed in that aspect of his game over the last couple of years.

In 2017-2018, Bellows netted 41 goals in 56 WHL games. He appeared to be on a fast track to the NHL and then fell off a cliff when getting to the AHL.

In 73 games last season, Bellows had just 12 goals. That's not going to cut it from a first-rounder who is known as a goal scorer.
