Lee had a goal and an assist in a Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia.
It was Lee's 29th snipe of the season. That's remarkable for a winger many had written off as too slow and old to succeed. It's Lee's third-highest season goal total of his career and the most since 2017-18 (40). It's also the second-highest point total (54) of his career. Lee turns 35 in July, and his value will drop soon enough. In the meantime, he's making a late-season run with four points (two goals, two assists) across his last four games. He might help if you're still trying to stack points over the next few days.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Gets closer to 30-goal mark
Rotowire
Lee found the back of the net on his only shot and went plus-1 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.
Lee was credited with his 28th goal of the season after Adam Pelech fired a slap shot that caromed off Bo Horvat and Lee before finding its way into the net. The 34-year-old Lee needs just two goals to reach 30 for the third time in his career, a feat he hasn't achieved since 2017-18 when he potted 40. The Islanders have five games remaining on their schedule, so Lee has an opportunity to get there. New York's captain has accumulated 28 goals, 52 points and a plus-9 rating over 77 appearances in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Lee produced an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Lee ended his two-game slide on offense. While he doesn't have a multi-point effort since Jan. 28, this was just his third stretch of multiple contests without a point in that same span. Lee is up to 27 goals, 24 helpers, 219 shots on net, 119 hits and a plus-8 rating over 76 outings. This is his highest point total in six years, so Lee can help fantasy managers both as a depth scorer and a source of physical play.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Lee netted an even-strength goal on six shots Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild.
Lee converted a back door tap-in after being set up by Scott Perunovich at 7:17 of the second period. Lee has earned a point in back-to-back outings after a four-game dry spell. The only other time Lee was held without a point in at least four consecutive games came between Nov. 16-23, so he's been consistent for the most part in a top-six role at even strength, though he's registered just six points with the man advantage. The Islanders' captain is up to 23 goals, 41 points and a plus-15 rating through 55 appearances in 2024-25. Lee and the Islanders will host the Stars on Feb. 23 when the NHL resumes play after the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Back on scoresheet Friday
Rotowire
Lee registered an assist, four shots on net, two hits and a minus-1 rating in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.
Lee notched the primary helper on Kyle Palmieri's even-strength marker at 11:07 of the final frame to cut the lead to 4-3. Lee was held off the scoresheet in four consecutive games prior to Friday. While the 34-year-old had struggled to live up to his seven-year, $49 million contract in previous years, he's taken his game to another level and has been one of New York's most consistent players in 2024-25. The left-shot winger is on pace for around 61 points, which would be one shy of his career-high set in 2017-18. Lee is at 22 goals, 40 points and a plus-17 rating through 54 outings this season.

Lee scored two goals in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
Lee was credited with a second-period tally that officially went as an own goal, and he added an empty-netter in the third.

The 34-year-old winger is up to 15 tallies, 29 points, 106 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-1 rating through 36 appearances. He should have no trouble surpassing the 37-point regular season he put together in 2023-24.
