Islanders' Anders Lee: Ends on high note in Sunday's win

Lee wrapped up the season with 34 goals and 52 points while posting a respectable plus-9 rating. The Minnesota native easily exceeded his previous career highs of 25 goals and 41 points, and he wrapped up the season with nine power-play goals and five helpers on the man advantage.

The points took him over the 50-point threshold (to 51). Lee has a whopping 33 goals this season and did all he could to try to will the Isles to the postseason. Unfortunately for them, the Leafs won, which eliminated the Isles from contention.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Reaches 30-goal plateau

It's been a career year for the 26-year-old forward. Lee has benefited from playing with John Tavares (lower body) for the majority of the campaign, and with the star center likely finished for the remainder of the regular season, Lee's fantasy stock takes a hit. Still, he entered Sunday's game with a 12th-ranked 1.47 goals per 60 minutes among all skaters with at least 1,000 minutes, and Lee certainly didn't miss Tavares against Buffalo.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Asserts self as team's goals leader

Lee's tally put him in the team lead with 29 goals on the season. He's one ahead of linemate John Tavares, who sustained a lower-body injury late in the third period of this latest win. Hopefully that ailment turns out to be minor because Lee and Tavares are mainstays on the top line and first power-play unit, complementing each other quite well.

The helper came on Andrew Ladd's game-winner in the latter half of the third period. Lee had hit the skids recently -- one point and minus-4 rating with just seven shots over five games coming into Wednesday's action -- but he picked a good time to resume building on the best season of his career, which now features 27 goals and 44 points.
