The Islanders’ postseason chances hang in the balance, but captain Anders Lee is encouraged by the start of the Pete DeBoer era.
The experienced coach arrived amid a 3-7 skid, and the team is one point out of the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot with four games remaining.
Lee remained upbeat after DeBoer’s second practice.
“I think it’s gone as good as it can,” Lee told The Post. “We’ve got to hit our feet in the ground running here, and Pete’s come in and done a great job with his meetings and what he’s looking from us and what he wants to implement.”
