New York Islanders Fire Coach Lane Lambert, Hire Patrick Roy

Islanders Struggle for Consistency as They Welcome New Coach Amid Losing Streak

New York Islanders have fired Lane Lambert as coach after less than two seasons, following a series of losses and inconsistent performances.
Patrick Roy, a Hall of Fame goaltender, has been hired as the new coach for the Islanders, marking his return to an NHL bench for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
The Islanders are currently struggling to find consistency and remain in the hunt for a playoff spot, with a record of 19-15-11.
The Islanders have lost four straight games, which is currently the NHL's longest active losing streak.
Roy's first game as the Islanders' coach could be on Sunday against the Dallas Stars.
