With four games left in the regular season, the Islanders are seventh in the Eastern Conference. But a recent slump has made a playoff spot far from certain.
Of their last ten games, the team has lost seven, and the club has chosen to replace coach Patrick Roy with Peter DeBoer with immediate effect.
The team includes Swedes Adam Boqvist, Emil Heineman, Simon Holmström and Pierre Engvall. However, Engvall is injured and will miss the rest of the season.
