Nelson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old center did his best to keep his team alive in an elimination game, but the Isles simply didn't have the firepower to keep up with Carolina. Nelson picked up two goals and four points in five postseason contests after supplying 34 goals and 69 points in the regular season, his third straight campaign with 30-plus goals. He has one more season left on his current contract with a $6 million AAV but just $4 million in salary left on the deal.

Nelson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson cut the Islanders' deficit to 3-2 with 2:21 remaining in the second period, burying a rebound past Frederik Andersen, though New York would ultimately come up a goal short in the Game 3 loss. It's the first goal and second point for Nelson in the postseason. The 32-year-old center tallied 34 goals and 69 points in 82 games this year.

Nelson produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
After opening the scoring early in the first period, the 32-year-old helped set up Kyle Palmieri with only 16 seconds left in the second frame. Nelson extended his point streak to five games and his goal streak to three games in the process, and over that stretch he's racked up four goals and eight points. If the Islanders are going to upset the Hurricanes in the first round, Nelson will likely need to remain locked in. On the season, he's delivered 34 goals and 69 points, falling just short of the career-best numbers he posted in 2022-23.

Nelson notched two assists during Tuesday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
With the game tied 2-2 heading into the third period, Nelson was able to provide two primary assists on the final two goals to seal the win for the Islanders. He also added two shots on goal and an even rating in 15:44 of ice time. Nelson has a modest three-game point streak going, scoring three goals and adding two assists during that time.
