2015-16 Season: The 2015-16 season looked like Adam Pelech's big career break, but instead his career was put in jeopardy, due to a health scare. The Islanders defenseman came down with a case of thoracic outlet syndrome - a blood clot condition in the upper arms - causing him to miss over 30 games.
Sandwiching his injury, Pelech played nine games for the Islanders - seven before, two after - recording a pair of assists, averaging 17:34 TOI. Pelech's shining moment was a two-assist game in a win against the New York Rangers. The 22 year old had seven points (2G, 5A) in 27 games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers as well.
