Welcome to the Islanders Prospect Report, a weekly roundup of the Islanders' junior, collegiate and European prospects. Visit our In the System page for more prospect content.

NELSON EXTENDS POINT STREAK TO EIGHT GAMES

Danny Nelson is atop the Notre Dame leaderboard with eight goals while riding a career-long eight game point streak, with nine points (5G, 4A) over that stretch.

The 19-year-old provided the only offense in both games over the weekend for the Fighting Irish, scoring the lone goal in a 3-1 loss to Ohio State on Saturday and in a 2-1 OT loss on Friday. The two goals gave him the team lead (8) and he is one shy of his career-high nine goals set through 30 games last season.

The Islanders’ 2023 second-round pick (49th overall) is hot heading into preparation for World Juniors, as he reported to Plymouth, MI for U.S. National Junior Team training camp, which kicked off on Monday.

Cole Eiserman, who the Islanders selected 20th overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, also reported to training camp as Eiserman and Nelson have the chance to be teammates on Team USA.

FINLEY’S TWO-POINT WEEK

Quinn Finley recorded his team-leading 12th goal of the season and sixth power-play goal, continuing his impressive sophomore season for the Wisconsin Badgers.

He scored an insurance goal in a 4-0 victory over Michigan on Friday, firing off a one-timer from the right circle for his 12th goal of the season and seventh in his last 10 outings. The Islanders’ 2022 third-round pick (78th overall) had an assist on a goal that tied the score at two apiece on Saturday, but the Badgers fell 3-2 to Michigan.

With two points over the weekend, the 19-year-old winger tacked onto his career highs in goals (12) and points (22) in 18 games.
