FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Islanders win as nelson lee thinking team first while having strong seasons - The Untold Story

Islanders Anders Lee Brock Nelson Jake Guentzel Josh Bailey Zach Parise Penguins

Linemates Brock Nelson and Anders Lee will almost certainly finish 1-2 in goal scoring for the Islanders this season. The former could reach 40 goals for the first time while the latter, coming off a devastating knee injury last season, is in reach of 30 goals for a third time.

Neither scored in the Islanders’ wild 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins to open a home-and-home series on Tuesday night at UBS Arena — both Josh Bailey and Zach Parise had two goals — but how Nelson and Lee finish the season will bring some intrigue as the Islanders wind down a season that will almost certainly end in their first playoff miss since 2018.

Ilya Sorokin made a career-high 43 saves and Kyle Palmieri scored the shootout’s lone goal.
