According to The Fourth Period, the Bruins are one of the teams currently linked to New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson.
Okay, I know that headline is crazy. The New York Islanders (15-18-7), currently 15th in the Eastern Conference and 27th in the NHL do not look like a good bet to catch fire and make the playoffs.
Per head coach Patrick Roy, all three players would not be boarding the plane as the Islanders play the final two games of their three-game road trip against the Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Hockey Club this Thursday and Saturday.
The Detroit Red Wings, who have 40 points, are on a five-game winning streak. Then you have the Philadelphia Flyers with 39, the New York Rangers with 38, and the Islanders with 37. The Buffalo Sabres are the ones, as of Wednesday, who find themselves dead last.
New York Islanders head coach Patrick Roy placed Brock Nelson between Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal in an effort to spark the offense. The Islanders entered Sunday's showdown with the Boston Bruins scoring just four total goals over their last three games.
A lot of disappointment. Embarrassed. Frustration,” Elias Lindholm said after the Bruins' 4-0 loss to the Oilers.
Elliotte Friedman, speaking on Monday's episode of the "32 Thoughts" podcast, shed light on the franchise’s challenges after a 5–4 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday left the Bruins searching for their first win of 2025.
He admitted that it was “really healthy” for him to get a fresh start with the Bruins after things appeared to be headed nowhere with the Islanders.
EAST MEADOW, NY -- The New York Islanders just beat the Boston Bruins on Sunday, a 5-4 overtime win for their first win of 2025. While the Islanders did blow a 4-2 third-period lead to a team on the second leg of a back-to-back, the Bruins are a team ahead of the Islanders, and it was an important two points.
The Boston Bruins remain without Hampus Lindholm, although he was a participant in practice on Tuesday morning.
