Islands’ Hidden Strengths Reveal a Winning Season Beneath the Surface
After winning six of seven games on their road trip, the New York Islanders have lost four of their first five games to start their seven-game homestand.
While the game outcomes tell one story, head coach Patrick Roy remains confident in his squad, which is still 13-10-3 and tied with the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second wild card spot.

“Sometimes after games there’s nothing to be said,” said Roy.
“And I think today is an example. We did everything right. We had a lot of shots and we had a lot of chances. We just came up short. We could find excuses. I get it. I mean, the standard of our team is to win hockey games and do the right thing, but sometimes we just need to continue to play the way we are and believe that things will go our way.”
