In the team's 4-1 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, the Swedish blueliner skated a season low 15:01 of ice time. He took just four shifts in the third period, last coming off the ice after a 21-second shift with 7:53 left in regulation. Sandin is averaging 19:23 of ice time per game this fall and has recorded two assists in his last three games. Last season, he did not miss a single game, notching 30 points (4g, 26a) in 82 appearances.
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.
