New York Islanders forward Anders Lee had a bad start to the 2016-17 NHL season. What made it worse was the downturn in production he had in 2015-16 after his first rookie season where he scored 25 goals and 41 points.
Lee found himself buried in the Isles depth chart striving to get his game back to a level we’d all expected of him after that earned him ten Calder Trophy votes.
But just before Thanksgiving, November 23rd to be precise, something clicked and Lee couldn’t stop scoring. He scored two that day to increase his total to three on the season.
