The New York Islanders' head coach, Patrick Roy, is emphasizing accountability as the team prepares for the upcoming season. His recent discussions with forward Anthony Duclair highlight the importance of back-checking and effort, indicating a desire for improvement in Duclair's game after years of inconsistency.

Roy's comments about Pierre Engvall's performance during training camp suggest that while he acknowledges Engvall's potential, there are areas for growth. Engvall, who has faced scrutiny over his plus-minus rating, remains focused on contributing positively to the team.
