Islanders News: Replacing a new assistant coach with an even newer assistant coach

It’s that time of the year in hockey. Not much going on at the moment.

But the New York Islanders did announce another change to their coaching staff yesterday. You’ll be shocked to learn we brought in another former Devil.

You’ll also be shocked that in the release announcing the new hire, they buried the fact that the parted ways with one of the guys they hired a few weeks ago to be one of Lane Lambert’s assistants.
