Former University of North Dakota hockey forward Brock Nelson is having a great run during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. So far, Nelson is the Islanders second-leading scorer (7g-8a–15pts<\/a>). Moreover, in the last five games, Nelson is smoking hot, he has four goals and seven points<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good efforts don’t go unnoticed. Nelson’s play has caught the attention of the Tampa Bay Lightning. During game two, the Lightning tried to take Nelson out of the game with a couple of dirty hits that could receive some extra scrutiny.<\/p>\n

You can see it for yourself. First, at the 5:55 mark of the first period, Alex Killorn tries to run Nelson through the boards with this dirty hit. For his efforts, Killorn was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Post-hit, Nelson would head to the locker room.<\/p>\n
