"On a night in which they lost their leading goal-scorer, Bo Horvat, to a leg injury, the New York Islanders defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Thursday night at UBS Arena behind two goals from Anders Lee and the first-career tally for rookie defenseman Travis Mitchell. With the win, the Islanders (18-11-3, 39 points) have won five of their last six games and are now within one point of the top spot in the Eastern Conference."
"It's pretty unbelievable to actually score a goal in the NHL, Mitchell said. You dream of it as a kid playing basement hockey So then to actually kind of turn that into a reality is pretty cool. Soon after, the Islanders went on the power play after Ryan Strome of Anaheim was penalized for high-sticking, and they cashed in again. Lee scored his first goal of the night."
