2 days agoJonathan Drouin to wear same number as former beloved NY Islanders' forward
Tonight, as the Matt Martin Foundation hosts its annual Charity Poker Tournament, Will Chiarucci on X posted a photo of players' jerseys spread across different tables, and it appears Drouin will wear No. 29 with the Islanders, the number most recently worn by Brock Nelson. Being that Nelson only departed the Islanders in March, traded to the Colorado Avalanche for Cal Ritchie and a first-round pick in 2026, it'll take some getting used to for the Islanders' faithful to see another player wearing No. 29.
