The New York Islanders fired head coach Patrick Roy amid a tight NHL playoff race, replacing him with former Dallas Stars coach Peter DeBoer.
"We lost a big game tonight," captain Anders Lee said after an 8-3 thrashing in which his team blew a 3-1 lead.

Artur Akhtyamov is expected to make his first NHL start Thursday vs the Islanders. Luke Haymes will likely make his NHL debut in place of Dakota Joshua. William Villeneuve is unlikely to play, with Troy Stecher expected to slot back in the Leafs lineup. #LeafsForever https://t.co/nRuupffEAo
