BERG’S TWO-POINT WEEK IN HIS RETURN

Cameron Berg is back in the lineup as if he didn’t miss a beat, posting two points over the weekend for the North Dakota Fighting Hawks.

The 22-year-old missed two games with injury but made his return just in time for a pair of matchups against Minnesota-Duluth, where he made an impact on the scoresheet. In a decisive 7-3 win on Friday night, Berg tallied an assist on a power-play goal that made it 5-0 for North Dakota.

The next day, the Islanders’ 2021 fourth rounder (125th overall) followed up with a power-play goal of his own – a one-timer from the right circle – to give the Fighting Hawks a 3-0 lead in the first period of an eventual 4-1 victory. It was Berg’s third power-play goal this season.

The center took six shots over the span of his last two games and notably went 12-for-23 in the dot in Saturday’s contest. Berg is averaging over a point-per-game with four goals and four assists in eight games.

FINLEY’S THREE-POINT WEEK

Quinn Finley had a productive weekend with a pair of goals and an assist for the Wisconsin Badgers, though they fell both matchups against Minnesota over the weekend.

The Islanders’ third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft (78th overall) opened the scoring with a power-play goal on Friday en route to a 2-0 lead for Wisconsin, but Minnesota completed the comeback with three unanswered goals in a 3-2 decision.

Finley scored in consecutive games when he lit the lamp to take a 2-1 lead for the Badgers on Saturday, with time and space in the low slot to find the back of the net. Wisconsin fell 3-2 in overtime.

The 20-year-old leads his team with seven goals and 10 points.

EISERMAN’S TWO-POINT GAME

Cole Eiserman is continuing to produce in his rookie campaign, with his second multi-point game of the season.

While Boston University fell 5-3 to UMass on Friday, the Islanders 2024 first-round pick (20th overall) had a solid performance. Eiserman assisted on a second period power-play tally that pulled the Terriers within one, following up with the game-tying goal in the third period where he received a cross-ice pass and scored to make it 3-3, but the Terriers allowed two goals to fall 5-3 in the contest.

The two-point night extended Eiserman’s point streak to four games (2G, 3A), but was snapped shortly after on Saturday in a 5-3 win over UMass.

The 18-year-old is averaging a point-per-game with six goals and three assists in his first nine contests of his college career.
