Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders have indeed made a change at the coaching level.
For Quebec fans and fans of the Montreal Canadiens, it's always interesting to follow what's happening with Roy - and today, we have significant news.
An important decision has been made by Patrick Roy and the Islanders.
Clearly with the goal of helping star goaltender Ilya Sorokin find his rhythm again, Patrick Roy and the Islanders (in collaboration) have decided to make a change to their goaltending coach.

Here's confirmation from insider Elliotte Friedman:
"After last night's game - a 4-3 win over San Jose - the Islanders made a change at goalie coach.

Hopefully, this will help Mathieu Darche and Patrick Roy get their elite goaltender back on track.
Patrick Roy's Islanders haven't exactly had the start to the season they were hoping for - with 6 points in 6 games, they currently sit 12th in the Eastern Conference standings (and 23rd overall in the NHL).
This tough start is largely due to the struggles of their star goalie, Ilya Sorokin, who has a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, a goals-against average of 3.90, and a save percentage of .873.
That explains why Patrick Roy made this decision regarding his goaltending coach.
More details to follow.
