The Islanders of Patrick Roy have one of the worst power plays in history.

Did you know that Patrick Roy’s Islanders have one of the worst power play advantages in history? That’s the case, indeed.

Since the beginning of the season, the Islanders are operating at 10.5%. Since power play statistics began being counted (1977), this is on track to be the fifth worst record in history.

Ouch.

Because the Islanders only have 2.44 opportunities per game, this means that since the beginning of the season, the team scores, on average, one goal every four games on power play.

This is not enough.

The Islanders, who also have the worst penalty kill rate in the NHL (65.6%), give up several goals per week while shorthanded, but conversely, they do not score when they have the opportunity.

This could explain the state of the standings, clearly.

The problem is that right now, the power play of the representatives of Long Island is performing worse than usual. The team is 0-for-25 recently, which leads everyone to question things.

The guys want to get out of this situation, and so does the coach. But in front of the media, Patrick Roy is not panicking.

We have to trust ourselves and trust the guys in place. – Patrick Roy

Lou Lamoriello, who brought Roy in last season to create a spark, must be wondering what he should do to help his team. After all, right now, the Islanders are not #InTheMix for the playoffs.

The Islanders don’t have a strong team, they don’t have a bright future… and they haven’t scored on the power play at home since November 30. Let’s just say that nothing is going well.

In a nutshell
