New York Islanders Nick Leddy 2019-20 Season Expectation

It’s an easy question. What should we expect from New York Islanders defender Nick Leddy in the 2019-20 season? With two different seasons in 2017-18 and 2018-19, the answer isn’t exactly as easy.

In 2017-18 Leddy was his usual self offensively with 42 points. But he wasn’t his usual self defensively. As much as I don’t like plus-minus, Leddy’s -42 tells you a lot about his defensive game (and that of the Islanders as a whole).

In 2018-19 the script flipped. Leddy had a good defensive season but fell to his lowest points total since the 2012-13 lockout when he scored 18 points in 48 games.
