The 2010–11 New York Islanders season was the 39th season in franchise history.[1]
The Islanders posted a regular season record of 30 wins, 39 losses and 13 overtime/shootout losses for 73 points, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
Off-season
[edit]The Islanders selected forward Nino Niederreiter with the fifth overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Niederreiter became the highest-drafted Swiss-born player in NHL history.[2]
Throughout the off-season, the Islanders added defensemen Milan Jurcina, Mark Eaton and Mike Mottau, as well as forwards Zenon Konopka and P. A. Parenteau via free agency.[3][4]
In a July 30, 2010, trade with the Anaheim Ducks, the Islanders acquired defenseman James Wisniewski in exchange for a conditional third-round draft pick in 2011.[5]
Most notably, the Islanders lost forward Kyle Okposo and defenseman Mark Streit to two accidental and separate shoulder injuries during training camp, both requiring surgeries.[4][6] These injuries effectively removed two top-line players for the Islanders, as they were expected to remain out for three and six months, respectively.[7]
Meanwhile, arena issues continued to follow the franchise, as team owner Charles Wang's proposed Lighthouse Project was met with continued obstacles from local authorities.[8][9] Both sides remain at odds, and little progress has been made since.
Regular season
[edit]After a ten-game losing streak, the Islanders changed coaches on November 15, 2010, moving Scott Gordon into an adviser to the general manager position and naming the Bridgeport Sound Tigers' head coach, Jack Capuano, as their interim head coach.[10] The Islanders ended a near franchise-tying record of 15-straight games without a win on November 26, 2010, against the New Jersey Devils. The Islanders won 2–0 with Rick DiPietro securing the shutout. The Islanders ended the season with the worst average attendance in the NHL with an average of 11,059 (68.1% arena capacity).[11]
The Islanders finished the regular season having scored the most shorthanded goals, with 15.[12]
Playoffs
[edit]On March 26, 2011, the Islanders were mathematically eliminated when the Buffalo Sabres defeated the New Jersey Devils. The Islanders last made the playoffs in the 2006–07 season.
