New York Islanders center Brock Nelson achieved a significant milestone in his NHL career by scoring his 500th point during a game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Nelson's landmark point came on a goal from the right circle at 3:35 of the second period, tying the game at 1-1 during a delayed penalty situation. With this achievement, Nelson becomes the 12th player in the Islanders' franchise history to reach the 500-point mark, and the first to do so since Josh Bailey in April 2021.

Congrats to Brock Nelson on his 500th point, which makes me feel a hundred years old
The Islanders tie it 1-1 on a delayed penalty. Lengthy shift in the attacking zone, and eventually Nelson snipes one by Hill to the short side from the right circle.
And that's Nelson's 500th career point.
Long delayed call and #Isles take advantage of skating six on five with Nelson tying it from right circle at 3:35 of the second. That's Nelson's 500th career point
