New Coach Hasn’t Helped Islanders
Patrick Roy was brought in to change the Islanders’ fortunes and push for a playoff spot, but it’s been more of the same with a new head coach. New York is 4-5-3 in 12 games since Roy took over behind the bench. They’re 10-12-5 on the road this season and rank T21st in goals (2.91) and 24th in goals allowed (3.35). They’re 31st in shots allowed (34.1) and have the league’s worst penalty kill (71.4 percent).
Mathew Barzal leads the Islanders in NHL player stats with 60 points (17 goals, 43 assists) and Brock Nelson leads the team with 25 goals. Bo Horvat is second with 22 goals. Hudson Fasching, Robert Bortuzzo, and Scott Mayfield are on the NHL injury report for New York.
Stars Suddenly Struggling
Dallas, among the NHL picks to win the Stanley Cup, hasn’t been much better as of late. They beat the Hurricanes on Saturday but, before that, had lost four games in a row and only scored eight goals in those NHL matchups. They’re 5-3-2 in their last 10 games, 17-8-3 on home ice, and 6-3-1 in their last 10 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
Dallas is an offensive juggernaut, ranking fourth in NHL stats for goals per game (3.61) and third in shooting percentage (11.7). Robertson leads the team in scoring with 57 points (19 goals, 38 assists) and Matt Duchene is second with 55 points (22 goals, 33 assists). Nils Lundkvist, Tyler Seguin, and Evgeny Dadonov are out of the lineup for Dallas.
