EDGE Analysis

Nelson helped out on first-period tallies by Cale Makar and Martin Necas. The 34-year-old Nelson snapped a three-game point drought, and this was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 25 versus the Maple Leafs. Nelson is up to 52 points, 140 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-9 rating over 60 appearances. He's been an excellent fit in a second-line role and should continue to offer plenty of offense.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old reached the 30-goal mark Wednesday, doing so for the fourth time in the last five years -- all since his age-29 campaign after falling short of the milestone in his first eight NHL seasons. He's at 50 points, 129 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-8 rating across 56 appearances in his first full campaign with the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson caught fire in the United States' opening contest for the Olympic tournament with a pair of goals in the second period, which included Thursday's go-ahead goal. The two-goal performance could have been even larger, but he was denied two goals late in the first period due to a ricocheted shot off the post and goalie interference committed by his linemate J.T. Miller. Before the Olympic break, Nelson led the NHL with 15 goals since Dec. 29, and his two-goal effort Thursday proved that his hot hand hasn't disappeared. The 34-year-old center has the potential to steal the show at the Olympics with his current scoring pace across all competitions.

Nelson scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The American center will be heading to Italy for the Olympics, and he goes international with plenty of momentum on his side. For the season, the 34-year-old has 29 goals, 49 points, 125 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-7 rating through 55 appearances. He'll likely be a steady source of two-way play during the Olympics.

He shot 21.6 percent that season and is at 23.9 in 2025-26, so a career high is possible as long as his luck doesn't fade.
