Nelson sent down
After their 4-3 loss tonight, the Islanders sent Brock Nelson down. That’ll certainly tweak those lines — maybe a Lee/Strome reunion? — and power-play units and probably penalty-kill units. Arthur …
Two points for Nelson
Been good knowing you, kid? We’ll know for sure Monday, but a performance like that isn’t going to hurt. The Big Club has another split-squad day Sunday, and then the roster has to be down to 23 by …
Building block, but over
So it ends for the Big Club, in overtime at home in Game 6. Fine job to get themselves in; a good step along the way. (“Now do it again,” etc.) Brock Nelson played 7:44 in his NHL debut, on for the …
Bring in the closers

Curtis McElhinney kept making saves; one or two I’m not sure how he got ’em. The last one, no chance for him. David Ullstrom left wide open. Brock Nelson finds him. Ballgame. The penalty kill came up …
Ullstrom returns
Late in today’s practice (which was a smidgen later than usual anyway) came word that the Islanders had sent David Ullstrom down to the Sound Tigers. That’ll lengthen the lineup a little. Ullstrom …
Remember wins?
So the power play… Nah. A fan base, I imagine, exhales. The goalie makes a couple of big saves. The team wins one again. And they get a big one from Brock Nelson, sent off 2:11 earlier for a trip …
