On Monday, the shocking news broke that the New York Islanders are parting ways with head coach Barry Trotz after the Islanders failed to make the playoffs.

The Islanders came up short of the playoffs after finishing the 2021-22 season with a 37-35-10 record.

Trotz had one year remaining on his five-year contract.

President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello announced today that Barry Trotz has been relieved of his duties as Head Coach. Wow.

This move comes as a surprise as Trotz led the Islanders to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons in New York.

Under Trotz, the Islanders reached the Eastern Conference Finals in both the 2020 and 2021 seasons before losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning, who eventually won the Stanley Cup.

Nation, do you think Trotz could be the next head coach of the Detroit Red Wings?

The first-round matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers continues in Game 4 with the Penguins leading 2-1 as we look at the moneyline, over/under, and player props for this game.

Pittsburgh Penguins (-110) vs New York Rangers (-110)

This game is a pick’em between the Penguins and the Rangers as it has been one of the tighter series this postseason thus far. It has featured one of the two overtime games in the playoffs. The series has gone back and forth to this point, and with Igor Shesterkin and the Rangers looking for a big bounce-back performance after their goaltender was pulled, expect a much tighter game.
