Welcome to the Islanders Prospect Report, a weekly roundup of the Islanders’ junior, collegiate and European prospects. Visit our In the System page for more prospect content.
Cole Eiserman and Kamil Bednarik helped Boston University win the Beanpot Championship, defeating Boston College 4-1 on Monday night.
The feat was an upset, as BU (Ranked #9 in the NCAA) took down BC (Ranked #1) in the showdown between the two rivals.
The Beanpot, which is the annual tournament among the four major collegiate hockey teams of Greater Boston Area, hit close to home for Eiserman. The Newburyport, Massachusetts native contributed in a huge moment for BU by adding an insurance goal.
With a steal at the blueline, Eiserman intercepted a pass, took control of the puck and drove to the net, going five-hole to take a 3-1 lead late in the third period. The goal marked Eiserman’s 16th of the season, which is tied for the team lead and leads all freshman in the NCAA.

Earlier in the contest, the Islanders’ 2024 20th overall pick blocked a shot that drew cheers from the packed crowd at TD Garden.
Bednarik, who the Islanders drafted in the second round of the 2024 NHL Draft (61st overall), had a secondary assist on the game-winning goal. The helper gave Bednarik his 14th point of the season. The 18-year-old recorded five shots on goal and won 14 of 20 draws.
Danny Nelson’s physicality and offensive prowess were on full display for Notre Dame on Saturday night.
The Islanders’ 2023 second-round pick (49th overall) completed a hit behind the net, cut across the slot to find open ice and wristed a shot from the right dot to open the scoring in an eventual 5-1 loss to Ohio State.
