New York Islanders captain Anders Lee didn’t hesitate when asked to assess the Islanders at the halfway point of the season. The captain sees a team that has earned its place in the standings — and one that still has room to grow.
“I like where we’re at,” Lee said following Friday’s morning skate. “I like where we’re heading.”
At the midpoint of the 82-game grind, Lee believes the Islanders have done “some really good work,” pointing to stretches of strong hockey and an ability to push through adversity that inevitably shows up over the first 41 games.
