Just tuning into the game and reading some of this thread. Really glad Nelson is having an immediate impact but it seems like he might be playing more physical than usual according to the comments. If he's crushing guys just don't expect that to continue, he's not afraid of contact but he doesn't seek it out either.
He's not a great power play guy because his release is pretty slow, but man is his shot lethal if he has any amount of time to take aim. On the rush he'll beat goalie clean. He'll always shoot in a shootout as well, I don't think I've ever seen him make a move.
As an Isles fan I'll be rooting for Colorado the rest of the season for sure.
