Lee has surged to the 20-goal mark this season, scoring seven times over his last nine contests.

Lee is at 36 points (six on the power play), 132 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-10 rating through 44 appearances in 2024-25.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Opens scoring in 800th career game
Rotowire

Islanders' Anders Lee: Pair of goals in win
Rotowire
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. He hadn't scored in five games, so any goal's a good one when it ends a dry spell. 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.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Dishes two assists in win
Rotowire
Lee logged two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Lee has put together a solid month or so with six goals and eight assists over his last 13 contests. The 34-year-old winger is currently on the third line with Mathew Barzal and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, though forward combinations could be interchangeable for a while now that head coach Patrick Roy has a healthy group up front. Lee is at 13 goals, 14 assists, 104 shots on net, 47 hits and a plus-2 rating through 34 appearances as one of the Islanders' best forwards this season.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Game-time decision
Rotowire
Lee is under the weather and will be a game-time decision versus the Blackhawks on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Lee is expected to play according to head coach Patrick Roy but is officially a game-time call heading into Thursday's tilt. Lee has registered a point in all but one of his last seven outings, racking up a combined five goals and five helpers, including three power-play points. If the 34-year-old winger is unable to play Thursday, Pierre Engvall could be elevated to a top-six role, while Hudson Fasching would likely jump back into the lineup.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Runs goal streak to three games
Rotowire
Lee scored a goal on four shots and had one hit in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Lee opened the scoring for the Isles with a power-play tally midway through the first period, giving him 10 goals on the year. The 34-year-old winger has struggled with consistency, and most of his points have come in short stretches, followed by droughts where he's unable to find twine. He has been hot again recently, scoring three goals across his last four appearances.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Notches three points
Rotowire
Lee registered a goal, two assists and a plus-4 rating during Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.
The Islanders top line of Lee, Bo Horvat, and Simon Holmstrom did all the damage, but were unable to withstand a late push by the Capitals. The 34-year-old captain is having a bounce back season with nine goals and 17 points in 24 games after posting just 37 points in all of 2023-24 - although fantasy managers would likely prefer more than just the two power-play points Lee has mustered during that span.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Snaps drought with goal Monday
Rotowire
Lee scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Lee found the back of the net just 4:35 into the first period, and that goal snapped a four-game pointless streak for the 34-year-old veteran. Lee has found ways to remain productive in recent weeks, and the winger has five goals and 11 points across 12 appearances since the beginning of November.

Rotowire
Lee scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
This was Lee's third multi-point effort in the last four games. All four of his multi-point efforts this season have come away from UBS Arena. The 34-year-old winger is up to seven goals, six assists, 58 shots on net, 23 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 17 contests. As long as Lee's on the top line, he's a worthy player for fantasy consideration in most formats.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Two goals in overtime loss
Rotowire
Lee scored a pair of goals in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Lee saw a four-game point streak end Saturday versus the Devils, but he bounced right back. The 34-year-old's earned three goals and five assists over his last six outings, stepping up with the Islanders missing Mathew Barzal (upper body) and Anthony Duclair (leg) from the top line.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Four-game, six-point streak
Rotowire
Lee had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over the Senators on Thursday.
Lee has quietly delivered a four-game, six-point streak that includes one goal and five assists after struggling to deliver just three points (three goals, one assist) in his first 10 games. Strangely enough, this outburst has come since his first-line right winger Mathew Barzal got knocked out of the lineup for four-to-six weeks with an upper-body injury. At 34, Lee's game is evolving with age, but he's still pounding pucks and bringing secondary fantasy value. His 52 shots on the season put him sixth in the NHL.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Distributes two apples Friday
Rotowire
Lee notched two even-strength assists in Friday's 4-3 win over Buffalo.
Lee registered his first assist of the season in the first period before adding a secondary helper in the final frame of Friday's victory. The 6-foot-3 winger added five shots, two blocks, and a plus-1 rating in 19:14 of ice time. In addition to skating on the No. 2 power-play unit, the Minnesota native is currently filling a top-line role due to injuries to Mathew Barzal (upper body) and Anthony Duclair (leg). Through 11 games, Lee has produced three goals and two assists.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Nets goal Saturday
Rotowire
Lee scored a goal on five shots and added seven hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Lee has two goals on 22 shots over the first five games of the season. The 34-year-old winger saw 18:25 of ice time Saturday, his highest mark of the season, and he could be in line for a promotion to the top six with Anthony Duclair (leg) in doubt moving forward. Lee also has 13 hits, so a move off the third line could help his offense while giving him a path to fantasy utility thanks to his high totals in shots and hits.
