"Anders Lee added another milestone chapter to his Islanders legacy Thursday night, scoring twice on the power play in the Isles' 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks and moving into rare air on the franchise's all-time goal-scoring list. With goals No. 296 and 297, Lee passed longtime teammate Brock Nelson to claim sole possession of fifth place in Islanders history - and the only names ahead of him now are Hall of Famers and four-time Stanley Cup champions: Mike Bossy, Bryan Trottier, Clark Gillies, and Denis Potvin."
"Playing in his 873rd game with the Islanders, he passed Gillies for seventh on the club's all-time games-played list. His pair of first-period power-play goals were his 80th and 81st with the man advantage, vaulting him past Pat LaFontaine and tying Derek King for seventh place in franchise power-play scoring. The captain also delivered the first four-point performance by any Islander this season - and his first since October 27, 2018, just nine games into his captaincy."
