![Islanders perform worse under Patrick Roy than before his arrival](https://cdn.buminteractif.com/2024/04/Capture-decran-2024-01-22-075034-800x437.jpg)
Lane Lambert had failed to maximize his squad’s potential, prompting Lou Lamoriello to call on the former Canadiens goaltender behind the bench.
His journey in New York began with three points in four games before the All-Star break. Then, the team rolled in sequences: two wins, three losses, one win, two losses, six wins… and six losses between March 11 and 21.
That’s when it hurt.
And what we’re seeing is that the team (which won yesterday against the Flyers) has been playing for .517 since the Quebecer arrived in town. And before January 20, the team was playing for .544.
Will Roy be able to reverse the trend and make the playoffs in the coming weeks… despite the fact that his GM didn’t offer him any support at the trade deadline last month?
It won’t be easy, as there are still several good teams to overtake in the standings. And the clock is ticking against the New York Islanders, too…

– The defenseman wants to win.
In fact, if I had one name to give you in terms of “competitive spirit” in this club, it would be Mike.
The look on his face after a defeat suggests he could take it all. But he always remains calm despite the frustration.
A great leader.

– That makes sense.
“I saw a little bit everywhere that some people were saying they didn’t believe in him anymore, but here, we never stopped believing that he’s an incredible goalie.”
Is 24-year-old Cayden Primeau really taking off?
