The 34-year-old veteran received a feed from Brock Nelson before going through the legs of netminder Adin Hill to open the scoring at T-Mobile Arena: Lee became the 10th player in Islanders history to record 800 games with the franchise and the first to score in the milestone game.

Captain Anders Lee, playing in his 800th career game, scored a goal and Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves as the New York Islanders beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0.

This is what it looks like when the season slips away in January. A disastrous second period, a total squandering of momentum, a team that played most of the night as though nobody was on the same page and a home crowd that sounded more disappointed than upset.

Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Travis Konecny added three assists and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 5-3.

The New York Islanders suffered their second straight loss, falling 5-3 at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night at UBS Arena.

The New York Islanders have won just 15 of their opening 40 games to start the 2024-25 season, potentially forcing the team to sell core players for draft capital.

This was the sort of effort which, if the Islanders could replicate it consistently, makes them look like a playoff contender.
