Patrick Roy Implements New Strategy to Improve Islanders' Performance

Despite a challenging schedule, Roy is making significant changes to the team's structure and playstyle.

Patrick Roy, the new coach of the New York Islanders, is implementing a new system and philosophy to the team's play, focusing on reducing turnovers, increasing puck possession, and improving the team's defense.
Despite a challenging schedule with games every other day until the All-Star break, Roy is making significant changes to the team's structure and playstyle.
Roy's approach includes 'second quick' - adding extra support in the defensive zone to force turnovers - and improving the team's breakouts.
Roy's debut as coach resulted in a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars, despite the team allowing 17 shots off turnovers.
The Islanders are currently on a five-game road slide and are looking to hand the Montreal Canadiens their fourth consecutive defeat.
