Struggling Islanders Face Crucial Road Trip Amid Calls for Management Change

Edmonton Oilers, Also in Slump, Make Coaching Change Ahead of Islanders Match

The New York Islanders are struggling early in the season, losing four straight games and facing calls from fans to fire general manager Lou Lamoriello and coach Lane Lambert.
The Islanders are set to begin a crucial four-game road trip, starting with a game against the Edmonton Oilers, who have also been performing poorly this season.
The Oilers have recently made a coaching change, hiring Kris Knoblauch, Connor McDavid's old junior coach, in an attempt to turn their season around.
The Islanders' roster, which largely consists of players from the team that reached the Eastern Conference quarterfinals last season, has struggled to generate offense and finish games this season.
Despite the team's struggles, Islanders center Brock Nelson emphasizes the need for the team to stick together and find a way to win.
