New York Islanders: Brock Nelson Is Back In Hibernation Mode

Related Topics: Hibernation

Brock Nelson might very well be the most frustrating player on the New York Islanders. At times, he lets his talent shine through, and he’ll score on a nice wrist shot. Other, times he’ll have a stretch of games where you believe he is finally becoming that goal scorer everyone expected him to be.

Yet time and time again, Brock Nelson goes into deep periods of play where he gives you absolutely nothing. I like to call them his hibernation periods.

Through 36 games Brock Nelson has just 12 points (9 goals, 3 assists). Over a full 82 game season that puts him on a pace for 27 points.
