Domer Anders Lee -- a Top NHL Goal Scorer!



Former Notre Dame hockey player Anders Lee is currently ranked 20th in the National Hockey League in goals scored this season!  ND Hockey fans might remember that Anders broke his left fibula this past April -- missing the final weeks last season and the Playoffs.

Lee currently leads the New York Islanders with 23 goals scored -- the same number as Blackhawks' star Patrick Kane...

FYI:  Kane just signed a contract with Chicago for 8 years and $84,000,000.

Think some agents are knocking down Anders' door?
