Sebastian Aho scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Islanders. Aho left the game briefly early in the second period after he was hit in the face with a loose puck. He’d return later in the frame and scored a goal midway through the third to cut Carolina’s deficit to 3-2. It’s Aho’s third goal and sixth point through five games in the series. The 25-year-old forward posted 67 points (36 goals, 31 assists) in 75 regular-season contests.
New York Islanders DFS SPIN
Brock Nelson tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Carolina. Nelson forced an offensive-zone turnover before setting up Pierre Engvall for the opening tally in the first period. Nelson would then add a goal early in the second, batting a loose puck past Antti Raanta to give the Islanders a 2-0 lead. The 31-year-old Nelson now has five points (two goals, three assists) in the playoffs after posting a career-high 75 points (36 goals, 39 assists) in 82 regular-season contests.
