Islanders see early turnaround under coach Weight

A change behind the bench appears to have sparked the New York Islanders.

The Brooklyn hockey club remained undefeated in regulation under interim coach Doug Weight with its 4-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

With the win, the Islanders improved to 3-0-1 since the firing of coach Jack Capuano. That stretch has seen them outscore their opponents 13-8, while goaltender Thomas Greiss has led the way in net, posting a 2-0-1 record with a .946 save percentage.

Next up for the team is a matchup with the Montreal Canadiens in Brooklyn on Thursday.
