Lee netted an even-strength goal on six shots Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
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. New York's 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.

Lee registered an assist, four shots on net, two hits and a minus-1 rating in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
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 produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
He opened the scoring early in the second period, as a slick pass off the side boards from Brock Nelson gave Lee a clear run at Mackenzie Blackwood, and the veteran winger didn't let the opportunity slip away. Lee has piled up six goals and nine points over the last 10 games with 28 shots on net, 26 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and an eye-popping plus-13 rating.

Lee scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Lee ended a three-game dry spell, his longest since November, with a third-period goal to tie the game at 2-2. The 34-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, surpassing his total from the 2023-24 regular season, and he's added 16 assists, 139 shots on net, 79 hits and a plus-15 rating through 48 contests. Lee has clicked with Mathew Barzal on the top line, and while both Brock Nelson and Bo Horvat have centered those wingers, Lee's production has remained fairly steady with any combination of linemates.

Lee scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Lee has surged to the 20-goal mark this season, scoring seven times over his last nine contests. The 34-year-old winger has reached that threshold nine times over the last 11 seasons, but he's only gotten to the 30-goal mark twice in his career. 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.

Lee notched two assists, eight shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 2-1 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Lee's eight shots were a team high. While he wasn't able to cash in on any of his own attempts, he set up third-period goals by linemates Brock Nelson and Mathew Barzal to lift the Islanders to the win. Lee now has six goals and four assists over his last nine outings. For the season, the 34-year-old winger is at 35 points (19 goals, 16 helpers), 130 shots, 60 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-11 rating across 42 appearances.

Lee scored a goal on two shots, went plus-2, added three hits and blocked three shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Lee has scored six goals over his last six contests. The 34-year-old played in his 800th career game Thursday -- all with the Islanders -- and he's earned 279 tallies and 207 helpers. He's been in peak form in 2024-25 with 19 goals, 14 assists, 122 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-9 rating through 41 appearances. That puts him on pace to top his career high of 62 points from 2017-18, though he's just a little behind pace to match that season's 40-goal performance.

Lee scored two goals, took seven shots and recorded two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Lee found the back of the net in the early stages of both the second and third periods, giving him 18 goals on the year. The 34-year-old winger is riding a productive stretch of late, scoring five times over his last five games with a pair of two-goal efforts in that stretch.

Lee scored a goal, took three shots and recorded two hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Lee scored in back-to-back games for the fourth time this season, as he was coming off a two-goal performance in the 6-3 win over the same Penguins team on Saturday. Lee has five points over his last four games, tallying three goals and two helpers in that stretch.

Lee scored two goals in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
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.
