It was just Doug Weight’s second game since taking over as interim head coach for the Islanders. Doug Capuano was relieved of his duties just days ago.
Juxtapose that situation with Darryl Sutter behind the Los Angeles bench. Weight is just starting off his coaching journey, while Sutter is cementing his legacy as one of the greatest coaches in league history.
The two-time Stanley Cup winning coach entered the game tied with Jacques Lemaire for 12th all time on the regular season wins list. Unfortunately for him, the tie-breaking win is proving to be elusive.
