Anders Lee

New York Islanders captain Anders Lee was back from an injury that saw him miss most of the 20-21 season and the entirety of the Isles playoff run. How long would it take him to get back to form after such a setback was the big question this year?. It...

Jeff Jackson looks for what he calls “competitive character” in players he recruits to Notre Dame, and more than a decade after he recruited Anders Lee, he still says the Islanders winger exemplifies that. Lee stands a large 6-foot-3. He takes up space when he walks into a...

This season has been a total loss for the New York Islanders, but there have been positives. Barry Trotz was finally forced to make some line changes after nothing seemed to be clicking for the Islanders offense. The new first line of Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, and Anthony Beauvillier has been dynamic to say the least.

Well, this was the perfect start for the New York Islanders. The Islanders welcomed back Thomas Greiss for the first time and just nine seconds in they welcomed him back with a goal from Anthony Beauvillier. How about the effort from Anders Lee off the draw. Good stuff, these are...

The NHL named their three stars of the week and New York Islanders captain Anders Lee was named the third star. From March 7 to March 13, Lee picked up seven goals and one helper for eight points over the target period. First star honors went to Chicago Blackhawks Patrick...

As the second period ended on Thursday night, the UBS Arena crowd let out a cheer. Innocuous as that may be, those moments have been few and far between this year for an Islanders team that has so often failed to live up to standards.  But on Thursday, in need of a get-right game after losing three of four, the Islanders got just that, recording a dominant 6-0 victory over the Blue Jackets, their biggest win of the season, on the back of Anders Lee’s first career hat trick, to move within two games of .500 (22-24-8).  “One of those nights, pucks...

The opportunity came with 48 seconds left in the game. The Islanders didn’t let it go to waste. Anders Lee had never scored a hat trick during a career that’s now in its 10th NHL year, a fact Barry Trotz would later say surprised him, given that Lee is constantly around the net. Now, he was being fed, again and again, with the Islanders holding a five-goal lead and a man-advantage in the final minute of a game that otherwise would have felt like nothing.

567 games. Anders Lee played 567 games before recording his first career hat-trick in the NHL. You'd think a guy with 200 career goals to his name and 29 two-goal games would have at least one career hat trick. That wasn't the case for the New York Islanders captain. But...

The New York Islanders will have their captain back as they welcome the Colorado Avalanche to UBS Arena. Lee was out in the Islanders' last game for personal reasons. No word on what that reason was exactly. So we'll all leave it at that. Lee hasn't been his usual self...

Despite getting a week off for the NHL All-Star break, Matt Dumba is not ready to rejoin the team after suffering an upper-body injury during in a win over the New York Islanders on Jan. 30. The Wild placed Dumba and forward Nick Bjugstad (upper body) on injured reserve Monday,...

The New York Islanders power play was once the worst in the NHL by a large margin. In October and November, the team had just five power play goals for on 49 opportunities. I don't have to tell you how bad 10.2 percent on the power play is. A large...

The New York Islanders will be back on the ice Thursday against the San Jose Sharks, resuming their schedule after missing the last two games due to a COVID outbreak. Not only that, they’ll have a good amount of reinforcements for the group as well. Anders Lee, Josh Bailey, Adam Pelech, Andy Greene and Ross Johnston are all out of the COVID protocol, according to head coach Barry Trotz, who spoke with reporters including Andrew Gross of Newsday. Trotz expects four of those five to play Thursday night.

Two more Islanders entered the COVID-19 protocol on Thursday: captain Anders Lee and Ross Johnston. It’s bad news at a bad time for the Islanders, who are one day away from opening a new arena – and in the midst of a four-game losing streak. Josh Bailey was already in the COVID protocol after testing positive in Florida, and defenseman Ryan Pulock officially went on injured reserve with a lower-body injury on Wednesday.

The New York Islanders are supposed to open their brand new arena Saturday night, but they may be without their captain for the festivities. The team announced Friday that Anders Lee and Ross Johnston have been placed in the COVID protocol. To be clear, the team has not confirmed that...

Islanders team captain Anders Lee joins Josh Bailey, the team’s longest-tenured player, in COVID-19 protocol ahead of Saturday’s UBS Arena opener.

The New York Islanders are supposed to open their brand new arena tomorrow night, but they may be without their captain for the festivities. The team announced today that Anders Lee and Ross Johnston have been placed in the COVID protocol. To be clear, the team has not confirmed that...

The New York Islanders are now up to three players in COVID protocol. Joining Josh Bailey on the COVID protocol are captain Anders Lee and Ross Johnston. Both were added on Friday. These are not confirmed cases (I'll get to why that matters in a second), but it's still a...
