Anders Lee scored a power-play goal for the New York Islanders in their 2021 opener, something that rarely happened last year.

In 2019-20, the New York Islanders power play was atrocious. With a 17.3% efficiency, it was one of the worst power plays (24th overall) in the NHL. It was better than it was in 18-19, but with a 14.5% efficiency that year the only direction was up for the Isles.

The big reason for the Islanders failures on the power play was Anders Lee.
