New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee enjoyed his 100th career multi-point game on Friday, notching a goal and two assists in a 5-4 overtime loss to Washington. The veteran forward became the 17th player in franchise history with at least 100 multi-point games for the team. Five of those efforts have come in 2024-25 as Lee has blown hot and cold. After collecting 10 points in his first seven November outings, he's added just four more to his tally. However, considering Lee mustered only 37 points last season, fantasy managers can be happy with his production. Lee is tied for the second-most points on the Islanders squad with 17 (nine goals, eight assists) in 24 games.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee lit the lamp twice in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Detroit, reaching 24 markers for the campaign. The Islanders entered the final period of play in a 1-0 deficit but were able to turn things around and Lee's first tally ended up being the game-winning goal. The 32-year-old has been fairly quiet in front of the net during the season half of the season, but he still sits second on the team in goals and has had a decent campaign with 44 points in 65 games.
Anders Lee Returns To First Line With Three Points
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee was back on the first line for Friday's clash with the Penguins and became one of the key men in the game, posting two goals and an assist in a 5-4 victory. It's his second three-point effort of the season. Josh Bailey had a spell on the top line after Bo Horvat joined the gang but failed to impress and ended up with just 7:38 of ice time Friday after Lee took his spot. It's been a struggle for Lee as well lately, but joining Horvat and Mathew Barzal should definitely boost his production. In 58 games this season, Lee has provided 21 goals and 18 assists with 155 shots, 88 hits and 38 blocked shots.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee gave his squad the lead twice in Monday's matchup against Toronto, but the team was still unable to end a losing cycle, suffering a fifth consecutive defeat with a 6-2 scoreline. Lee ended a six-game goal drought in the final seconds of the first period and then grabbed his second 6:18 into the second period. It's his first multi-point outing since the turn of the year. With the team playing losing hockey, Lee has struggled to produce offense and finds himself in the middle of a poor spell, posting only five points in 12 January appearances. His overall numbers are still decent, with 17 goals and 33 points recorded in 49 games, but Lee's scoring pace is getting close to dropping below his career average of 0.62 points per game.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee scored his 23rd goal of the season in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Rangers to take his goal streak to six games. He found the net on the power play 0:49 into the second period. Lee has been awfully quiet all season, but he's suddenly hit form after missing a game for personal reasons. It appears that he's finally back to his best after tearing his ACL 12 months ago. Lee's fantasy stock has skyrocketed, and he looks like a great add for fantasy managers for the end of the week, with the Islanders getting two more games against Dallas and Philadelphia.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee posted his first career hat trick on Thursday, scoring half of the goals in a 6-0 victory over Columbus. He completed his hat trick with a power-play goal just before the final buzzer. Lee logged only 14:17 of action in the blowout win but managed to fire off seven shots in total. The Islanders captain has struggled for form in 2021-22, but he's put together a couple of very strong performances, scoring five times with 10 shots. With another game against Winnipeg coming up Friday night, Lee doesn't have any time to cool off either.
Anders Lee Returns To Action With A Three-Point Effort
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee was back with a bang on Monday against Colorado, collecting three points in a 5-4 loss after sitting out one game for personal reasons. He produced two power-play goals and an assist, recording as many points as he had in his previous 11 appearances. It's not been a great year for Lee, with him sitting on 23 points in 47 games, but he should at least get a confidence boost from his Monday's efforts. It was his first three-point game since Feb. 23, 2020.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee (personal) is set to return to the lineup on Monday against Colorado after sitting out one game. He skated on the third line with Zach Parise and Oliver Wahlstrom at the morning skate. Lee is having a disappointing campaign with 20 points in 46 games, but he's still the team's second-best goal-scorer with 14 goals. The Islanders need all the attacking force they can get at the moment, with Mathew Barzal (lower body) out injured. Meanwhile, the defense remains without Zdeno Chara (upper body) on Monday.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee scored two goals as the team snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over Ottawa on Tuesday. He produced both of his goals in the second frame, finishing the night with two shots, one block, two hits and a plus-two rating. Lee was one of the players to catch the COVID-19 virus last month and it's not been a very productive campaign for him, as the 31-year-old has managed just six points in 16 games. The Islanders will now try to start building momentum on Thursday against Nashville.
Anders Lee In, Jean-Gabriel Pageau Out On Thursday
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee will get back into the lineup for Thursday's clash with Columbus, but center Jean-Gabriel Pageau won't be available. Lee sat out Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Chicago with a stomach bug. Pageau has now picked up a non-COVID related illness himself. It looks like Zach Parise is set to fill the center position on the third line in Pageau's absence, while Lee joins Mathew Barzal and Kyle Palmieri on the top line. The Islanders captain has been quiet so far this season, but the team's first line boasts plenty of potential and it seems like a matter of time before things start to click.
New York Islanders forward Anders Lee (knee) will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a torn ACL in his team's victory over the Devils last Thursday. The 30-year-old is set to undergo surgery on his knee at some point this week. The news comes as a big loss for the Islanders and fantasy managers alike, as the team captain had posted 19 points (12 goals, seven assists), a plus-11 rating, 80 shots and 39 hits in 27 contests this season. A valuable producer in fantasy leagues due to his excellent cross-category coverage, Lee can unfortunately now be dropped in all leagues at this point.
New York Islanders left wing Anders Lee had two goals, including the game-winner, in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Buffalo. Jean-Gabriel Pageau had a goal and an assist, stretching his goal streak to four games. Lee carries a two-game goal streak, with both markers coming against the Sabres. He has seven goals and 10 points for the year in 15 games with 51 shots, 16 hits and 10 blocks. The Isles captain has scored in only five contests so far, but he's averaging 3.4 shots per game, which shows that he's getting in good goal-scoring positions, so he should start banging them in more regularly.
