For an organization that publicly boasted its belief that it would be a playoff team come April, a 10-game losing streak was unacceptable. Scott Gordon was made the fall guy Monday, when the head coach was fired by the Islanders. Gordon, who will remain in the organization as an advisor to general manager Garth Snow, was replaced by Jack Capuano.The Islanders' 4-10-3 record is the NHL's worst. They are tied with Edmonton for the fewest points in the league with 11. The Islanders' 37 goals are second-fewest in the NHL and it's goals against is third-worst. During their 10 game losing streak, the Islanders have been outscored 39-14. "The biggest issue is confidence," Snow said in a conference call with reporters. "Change needed to be made." The Islanders were 64-94-23 in Gordon's 181 games as head coach. Capuano was 133-100-22 as the head coach of the Islanders' American Hockey League affiliate in Bridgeport, Conn. Photo by Getty Images
