Dropping Like Flies: Islanders Lose Anders Lee To Broken Fibula

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — This is a joke, right?

The Islanders must be thinking they wronged someone because they keep losing players to injury. The latest is young power forward Anders Lee.

Lee left Thursday’s 4-1 win over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden with a lower-body injury, that was confirmed by the team on Friday to be a broken left fibula. The injury is just the latest to hit the club, which is heading to the playoffs on a roll but with serious health concerns.

Tests will determine whether Anders Lee needs surgery to repair leg fracture.
