Frans Nielsen's excellent start to the season continued on Thursday with one of the better goals of his career. With the game tied at 1-1 in the second period, the Islanders center picked up the puck in his own zone and quickly carved through the Carolina Hurricanes defenders straight to the net for a score.

That was Nielsen’s fourth goal and ninth point in 10 games so far, meaning he’s on pace to far exceed his 14 goals and 49 points of a year ago.
