Two weeks from Wednesday, Brock Nelson will find out whether he’ll have the chance to represent Team USA at the first international best-on-best tournament since 2016 — this February’s Four Nations…
CALGARY, Alberta — When Brock Nelson was a kid, he’d see pictures of his family at the local rink in Warroad, Minnesota.
“So any time — even World Championships — for me, I get the opportunity to represent my country, it definitely makes me think of that, my family, how much they meant to the game, how much they mean to me as role models and people I look up to.”Brock Nelson #29 of the Islanders celebrates with Kyle Palmieri #21 of the Islanders after he scores a goal on a pass from Jacob Markstrom on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, in Elmont, NY.
Auston Matthews and Jack Eichel already were named to the team in June and play down the middle, and the Devils’ Jack Hughes is likely to play center for the Americans as well. Nelson — along with Detroit’s Dylan Larkin, Buffalo’s Tage Thompson and the Rangers’ Vincent Trocheck — should be in the mix for what would be a fourth-line role, though he could also be an option to play on the wing.
