Under his leadership, the Islanders bounced back and managed to qualify for the playoffs, although they were eliminated in five games by the Hurricanes.
Despite this playoff return, Patrick Roy is among the coaches most likely to be fired according to The Athletic, with only 3.1% of analysts' votes in his favor.
To strengthen the team, General Manager Lou Lamoriello recruited Anthony Duclair, a former player under Roy at the Quebec Remparts, and Maxim Tsyplakov, a KHL forward.
