Lehner went 14-26-9 with a 3.01 GAA and .908 SV% in 53 starts with the Sabres last season. The 26-year-old has started 50-plus games in back-to-back seasons and is tied for 19th among qualified goalies in SV% (.915) and 37th in GAA (2.83) over that span. Lehner will take over as the Islanders’ starting netminder with Thomas Greiss as the backup.
