The Islanders’ management makeover continues with perhaps the biggest new name added to the list since Barry Trotz signed up as head coach at the end of June.
The team has named Mitch Korn Director of Goaltending, a nebulous title for a guy who brings a reputation as one of the NHL’s premier goalie whisperers.
Korn spent the past season as the Director of Goaltending and three previous as Goaltending Coach, all with the Washington Capitals. During his time in Washington, the Capitals won two consecutive Presidents’ Trophies (2015-16 and 2016-17) and the franchise’s first Stanley Cup (2018).
