Expected back Thursday Lee (upper body) is slated to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Flyers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lee was expected to miss between one and two weeks when he was initially hurt, so it appears his recovery went smoother than expected. His addition to the lineup Thursday should clear the way for him to resume his top-six role for Opening Night against the Penguins on Oct. 9. In addition to the first line, Lee should see plenty of minutes with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Sheds non-contact sweater Lee (upper body), who has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Rangers, was seen in a regular sweater during the Islanders' morning skate, Stefen Rosner of NHL.co...

Impact Lee has been dealing with an upper-body injury over the past few days that was expected to sideline him for 1-2 weeks. While it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, the fact that he was able to shed his non-contact sweater Monday suggests that he's trending in the right direction. His status for the Islanders' Opening Night matchup against the Penguins on Oct. 9 hasn't yet been revealed, but it seems unlikely that he'll be forced to miss much, if any, time to begin the regular season.

Facing 1-2 week absence Lee is expected to miss 1-2 weeks with an upper-body injury, the Islanders announced Wednesday.

Impact If Lee's injury lingers into the two-week range, he could be in danger of missing Opening Night against the Penguins on Oct. 9. The veteran winger has missed just one regular-season game over the past three seasons, including 2024-25 when he scored 29 goals on a career-high 233 shots. Still, given his offensive upside and role with the man advantage, Lee should be a top-end fantasy target heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

Strong season continues Lee had a goal and an assist in a Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia.

Impact It was Lee's 29th snipe of the season. That's remarkable for a winger many had written off as too slow and old to succeed. It's Lee's third-highest season goal total of his career, and the most since 2017-18 (40). It's also his second-highest point total (54) of his career. Lee turns 35 in July, and his value will drop soon enough. But he's making a late-season run with four points (two goals, two assists) in his last four games. He might help if you're still trying to stack points over the next few days.

Gets closer to 30-goal mark Lee found the back of the net on his only shot and went plus-1 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.

Impact Lee was credited with his 28th goal of the season after Adam Pelech fired a slap shot that caromed off Bo Horvat and Lee and into the net. The 34-year-old Lee needs just two goals to reach 30 for the third time in his career, a feat he hasn't achieved since 2017-18, when he potted 40. The Islanders have five games remaining on their schedule, so Lee has an opportunity to get there. New York's captain has accumulated 28 goals, 52 points and a plus-9 rating over 77 appearances in 2024-25.
