NELSON SCORES 10TH GOAL OF THE SEASON

Danny Nelson buried his 10th goal of the season on Saturday and established a new career high in the process.

The Islanders’ 2023 second-round pick (49th overall) scored an empty-net goal with 47 seconds left in the game, sealing the deal with a 4-2 win over Lindenwood.

Nelson’s 10 goals are tieed for the team high. The 19-year-old forward hit double digits for the first time in his NCAA career – though he was close in his freshman campaign - after he scored nine goals through 30 games last season. Nelson is four points shy of matching his career-high of 23 points.

VEILLEUX’S THREE-POINT WEEKEND

Xavier Veilleux is racking up the points for the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL.

The Islanders’ 2024 sixth-round pick (179th overall) had a productive weekend, with two assists in Friday's 7-3 win over USA Hockey NTDP before adding another assist in Saturday's 8-1 win.

The 18-year-old defenseman is hot offensively as of late, recording 13 points (2G, 11A) in his last 12 games. Veilleux has 25 points (5G, 20A) in his second full season with the Lumberjacks. He’s seven points shy of a career high 32 set in the 2023-24 campaign.

Veilleux played in his milestone 100th game in the USHL on Jan. 11. With his sights set on playing NCAA hockey, he is committed to Cornell University for the 2024-25 season.
