Fantasy Impact
Nielsen raised his goal total to three to match his three assists on the season thru 39 games this season. He clearly is well passed his prime and playing out his contract. He is not worth owning in any league.

Fantasy Impact
Nielsen has had his fair share of ups and downs this season. He is not rosterable at this time with his 7 goals and 15 assist because of his inconsistencies.
