Islanders Fire Coach Scott Gordon

The Islanders have lost their last ten games — they're 0-9-1 during that period — and now head coach Scott Gordon has lost his job. Jack Capuano, who'd been the coach of the team's AHL affiliate in Bridgepost, takes over a team that opened the season in impressive fashion, going 4-1-2 in its first seven games — but one that has scored just fourteen goals during the ten-game skid that dropped them to a league worst 4-10-3 record.
