Islanders Anders Lee 2019-20 player grade: Special team failings

After getting a huge payday from the New York Islanders, big things were expected from Anders Lee. With a disappointing 2018-19 season on the stat sheet, the hope was that Anders Lee could bounce back in 2019-20.

The expectation for Lee was that he could get back to that 30-40 goal scorer and fill that top-line role that head coach Barry Trotz was giving to the Isles captain.

That Power Play Though

With 68 games played, Lee scored 20 goals and added 23 helpers for 43 points. Over a full 82 game season, that type of production put him on pace to hit 24 goals and 52 points.
