Stefen Rosner on Morning Cuppa Hockey Talking Islanders EAST MEADOW, NY -- After New York Islanders [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/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.
