Lee scored a goal on one shot in the Islanders' 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Lee scored a power-play goal by redirecting a pass from Bo Horvat to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead. This goal snaps a 10-game goal drought for the Islanders' captain as he has really struggled to begin the season. He is now up to two goals and three points in 16 games on the season. Lee should continue to play on the third line and second power-play unit for the time being.

Lee ended up with a plus-1 rating, a blocked shot and two hits in 14:55 of ice time. He'll search for his first goal in Saturday's quick road trip to Buffalo.

Lee scored two goals Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Lee picked up an early power-play goal and then tied the contest late with a deft, net-front move past Tristan Jarry with the extra attacker on the ice. He has four goals in his last three games and 26 (46 points) in 67 games this season. Lee has seven goals and four assists in his last 15 games, but he's also gone pointless in eight of those games.

Lee scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

Lee scored two goals on a team-high six shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
He got the Islanders on the board midway through the first period with his 20th goal of the season, then scored again with only 28 seconds left in the second to kick-start a rally from a 4-2 deficit. Lee appears to be finding some chemistry on the top line with Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat, and over the last 11 games, the 32-year-old has six goals and nine points.

Lee was moved back to the top line with Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat during practice Thursday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Lane Lambert has been looking for a wing to play with on that top line since the team acquired Horvat from the Canucks. Josh Bailey and Zach Parise were given shots during Tuesday's game, and now it's Lee's turn. Lambert also admitted Thursday that one of the reasons he made the switch is because Lee has been in a slump (one point in his last five games), and he is hoping this switch will be the spark he needs to get his offense going once again.
