New York Islanders News & Notes:

The New York Islanders are 8-2-0 in their last ten games, soaring up the Eastern Conference standings. With this hot streak, the Islanders find themselves four points out of a Wild Card position and have games in hand on most teams above them in the standings.

While Brock Nelson has been a name on most trade boards, could the uptick in play for the Islanders take him off the market?
