Anders Lee has agreed to a three-year, $16.2 million deal with the Utah Mammoth according to Elliotte Friedman.

EDGE Analysis

Lee cashed in on the open market after spending his entire career with the New York Islanders, providing another impactful veteran forward option on an Utah squad looking to reach the postseason this upcoming season. The veteran winger posted 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists) over 82 contests in 2025-26 and remains a reliable two-way forward option this upcoming season.

Lee signed a three-year, $16.2 million contract with the Mammoth on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee will officially suit up for a franchise other than the Islanders for the first time in 2026-27. He produced 19 goals, 23 assists, 199 shots on net, 91 hits, 44 PIM and 37 blocked shots over 82 regular-season games in what was his last year with the Islanders. Lee has topped the 40-point mark in eight of his last 10 seasons, and he shot just 9.5 percent last year. He turns 36 years old this Friday, but there's still reason to think he can be an effective middle-six winger who also provides ample leadership on a young Mammoth squad.

Lee scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders have dropped four games in a row, but Lee remains a productive forward for the struggling New York team with three goals, 10 shots, nine hits and two blocked shots over that span. The 35-year-old veteran has been a reliable fantasy contributor all season long for the Isles, tallying 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists) in 78 regular-season contests, a figure that ranks fourth on the team.

Lee scored a goal on two shots while adding four hits, five PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has found the back of the net in back-to-back games. He went seven games in a row without a point between March 5 and March 19, but he's bounced back admirably with six points (three goals, three assists) in his last seven contests. Lee isn't a player known for filling out the stat sheet, as he hasn't posted a multi-point game since December, but he should continue to have upside thanks to his role and a spot on the top line alongside Bo Horvat.

Lee scored a power-play goal, added three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has done well with a move to the top line, earning two goals and three assists over his last six contests. The 35-year-old winger is now at 40 points (eight on the power play) over 75 outings this season. He's added 181 shots on net, 80 hits, 34 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-2 rating. While he hasn't been at his peak performance, Lee is still an effective depth scorer in fantasy.

Lee scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has a goal and two assists over his last three games. He had been in a middle-six role recently, but his move up to the top line has factored into his offensive improvement. For the season, the 35-year-old winger has 16 goals, 38 points, 177 shots on net, 74 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 72 appearances.

Lee scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Lee's goal streak is up to four games. This was his first power-play point since Dec. 11, when he buried a pair of tallies with the man advantage against none other than the Ducks. For the season, the veteran winger has 15 goals, 35 points (six on the power play), 150 shots on net, 57 hits and a plus-7 rating over 62 appearances.

Lee scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers scored with 1:58 left in the third period to tie the game at 4-4, but Lee made sure the Islanders got the job done in regulation, scoring with 32 seconds left. He's scored in three straight games following the Olympic break after being limited to a goal and five assists over the previous 20 contests. The 35-year-old clearly benefited from the rest, and he's up to 14 goals, 34 points, 146 shots on net, 57 hits and a plus-9 rating over 61 appearances this season.

Lee tallied a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Lee sparked the Islanders' offense in the second period with the first of three goals they would ultimately score. The twine finder brought him up to 13 goals on the season to go along with 33 points, 145 shots on net, 56 hits and 27 blocked shots across 60 games. The 35-year-old winger has scored in each of the two games the Isles have played since the Olympic break, giving him solid streaming value in standard fantasy formats where he is not already rostered.

Lee scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Lee's tally at 18:19 of the third period tied the game at 3-3. He snapped a 10-game goal drought in the process. The 35-year-old winger has had a couple of good stretches this season, but it's been mostly spotty production for him overall. He's at 12 goals, 32 points, 144 shots on net, 56 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 59 appearances.
