New York Islanders Daily: Anders Lee Scores In U.S.’ Fifth Straight Win

The New York Islanders have a big representation at the IIHF World Championship and their guys continue ti produce throughout the tournament.

Anders Lee spent the 2016-2017 season putting pucks in the back of the net for the New York Islanders. In fact, he did so 34 times which was a career high for him. He’s been doing the same for team U.S. in this tournament.

In yesterday’s 6-1 win over Slovakia Lee tallied another goal. U.S. was already up 5-1 at the time of the goal but this acted as the icing on the cake as the Americans went on to win their fifth game in a row.

In seven games Anders has four goals. It’s good to see that his pace has not slowed down as he makes the transition into the offseason. The Isles certainly hope that Lee can continue his scoring for them next year.

Coming off a 15 goal 2015-2016 season expectations were low for Lee, especially with his slow start to the season this year. I’m not sure anyone would’ve predicted that Lee would score the most goals for the team once it was all said and done.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, hopefully, nobody gets hurt in this tournament. That’s all I care about. Would I like the U.S. to win? Sure, but I’d much rather the tournament close with no injuries and no more social media controversies.
