"New York Islanders captain Anders Lee has suffered an upper-body injury that will sideline him between one and two weeks, the team announced on Wednesday. The team was hitting the ice for just their fourth day of training camp when the news of Lee's absence was made known. It suddenly puts the start of the 2025-26 regular season in jeopardy for the 35-year-old veteran winger, who is preparing for his 14th season with the Islanders."
"Lee is coming off a bounce-back campaign in which he scored 29 goals with 25 assists. It was his most productive season since scoring 40 goals in 2017-18, and it further indicates that he can still produce in a middle-six role. But now, while he recovers, Lee is likely out of the question for the remainder of training camp and the preseason, which could impact his availability for the very start of the new year."
