In 227 power play opportunities, the New York Islanders scored 33 times. That’s a 14.5 percent efficiency on the man advantage. Ranking the team 29th in the NHL. The Islanders power play was incredibly flawed last season. (That’s putting it nicely.)
The man who is largely responsible for the Islanders power play is Assistant Coach Scott Gomez. A simple Twitter search will show how Islanders fans feel about the team’s power play coach.
The Islanders could opt to make a change and let Scott Gomez go. Remember, he wasn’t a Lou Lamoriello, or Barry Trotz hire.
