Islanders name Anders Lee captain

The New York Islanders have found their successor to John Tavares, naming Anders Lee the team's captain on Thursday.

Lee is coming off a career year, scoring 40 goals during the 2017-18 season.

The 28-year-old is no stranger to wearing the "C," as he was the captain during his junior year at Notre Dame.

Josh Bailey, Cal Clutterbuck, and Andrew Ladd will serve as the team's alternate captains.
