The Islanders are preparing to trade center Brock Nelson and the Avalanche are asking about him amid a playoff chase.
Brock Nelson had a goal and an assist and the New York Islanders took down the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Tuesday night. Kyle Palmieri and Ryan Pulock also scored, and Ilya Sorokin finished with 27 saves for New York in its final game before the NHL trade deadline and a three-game west-coast road trip.
The Islanders are looking to sell before the NHL trade deadline, but will New York's front office move long-time fan-favorite Brock Nelson?
