New York Islanders coach Patrick Roy shared his thoughts following a 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins at the UBS Arena on Wednesday. Pavel Zacha scored twice in the third period to seal Boston's win, handing New York its fifth defeat in six games.
Brad Marchand scored two goals, and David Pastrnak added three assists for Boston, while Joonas Korpisalo made 21 saves, as the Bruins bounced back after a 2-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks the night before.
Roy praised the Islanders' work ethic and highlighted the positives, even in tough times. He acknowledged the team’s struggles, with mistakes in key moments, but sounded confident in their effort to bounce back.
“I love these guys," Roy said. "They work hard for me. Every night, they're pushing. This is the team that Lou gave me, and I'm going to work extremely hard for these guys. I owe this to the players and to our fans."
