Scott Gordon was fired as coach of the Islanders on Monday during a 10-game winless streak that left the team at the bottom of the NHL standings. He was replaced on an interim basis by Jack Capuano, coach of the Islanders' AHL affiliate. Capuano joins a team that was swept on a three-game California road trip and is 0-9-1 in its last 10 games. His Islander coaching debut is at home Wednesday against the Lightning.
