Chicago Blackhawks Officially Make NHL Franchise Fall Apart

The New York Islanders have moved significantly in their coaching staff after losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3.

The Islanders have had trouble finding the same competitive edge and consistency they had under former coach Barry Trotz, with a record of 19-15-11 and just two points out of a wildcard spot in the NHL playoffs.

In response, the team has hired Patrick Roy, former Colorado Avalanche and Quebec Remparts Head Coach and GM, to lead the team.

He is expected to take over as the bench boss in their upcoming game against Peter DeBoer and the Dallas Stars. Lambert had served as head coach for the Islanders from 2022-2023 and had been an assistant coach since 2018-2019.

His less-than-stellar performance as head coach has seen the Islanders give up for goals a game, and lose seven straight games in November.
