New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson addressed the trade rumors surrounding him and his future on Thursday. We break down what Nelson said and what it means for his future and the New York Islanders between now and the March 7th NHL Trade Deadline.

Plus, the Islanders activated Hudson Fasching from the IR and he will travel with the team this weekend to Winnipeg and Minnesota.

It looks like Matt Martin's chance to play in his 1,000th career NHL game is growing less likely with each passing game. He needs to play in 21 of the team's final 29 games to get to 1,000 this season.

And we preview both of this weekend's games as the Isles face the Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild in their final two games before the Four Nations Tournament break.

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
