Anders Lee is returning to Long Island this weekend and believes "everything’s in line" for him to be ready for Islanders training camp after tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament last season.
But the captain does need final medical clearance before rejoining his teammates on ice once camp opens on Sept. 22.
"Everything has gone well," Lee told Newsday on Friday. "It’s a long process with this type of injury and our focus has continued to be to do this the right way and take it step by step and go after it.
