    Patrick Roy put an end to rumors surrounding him having an issue with Lamoriello.

    EAST MEADOW, NY -- After New York Islanders head coach Patrick Roy stated that playing Matt Martin and Pierre Engvall, who he barely played in the 6-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night, was more of a Lou Lamoriello decision than his, rumors swirled about a rift between him and the Hall of Fame general manager.

    At Monday's practice, Roy put those rumors to rest:

    At Monday's practice, Hudson Fasching skated on the fourth line with Kyle MacLean and Pierre Engvall. 

    Roy made it clear that finding the right fit on the fourth line alongside MacLean will be a process. 

    The hope is that someone will take advantage of an opportunity and win it. 

    The Islanders host the Anaheim Ducks at 7 PM ET on Tuesday.
