Bob Nystrom
Selected by New York Islanders round 3 #33 overall 1972 NHL Amateur Draft.
The quintessential money player, Bob Nystrom was a scrappy right-winger who had a propensity for scoring key goals and overtime winners. He was a scrappy competitor who battled hard in the corners and in front of the net during his 900 games with the New York Islanders. Nystrom retired in 1986 after trying to battle back from an eye injury.
The Islanders retired his No. 23 on April 1, 1995, although three other players had worn it after Nystrom.
Nystrom embraced the Long Island community like few others, contributing to various charities in the area and promoting the local businesses whenever possible. By virtue of these distinctions, and coupled with the most famous goal in team history, Nystrom was nicknamed "Mr. Islander."
