The Islanders’ 10th straight loss Saturday also turned out to be Scott Gordon’s final game as the coach. He was replaced before practice Monday by Jack Capuano, who coached the Islanders’ top farm team, the Sound Tigers, an American Hockey League club in Bridgeport, Conn.

Gordon, 47, a former goaltender, compiled a 64-94-23 record in two-plus seasons. After the Islanders finished with the worst record in the N.H.L. in his first season, they were 34-37-11 in his second.

The Islanders opened his third season by winning four of their first seven games, with two losses in overtime. But they scored only 14 goals in the next 10 games, nine of which they lost in regulation. They lost three games on a dismal trip that ended Saturday with a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

The Islanders (4-10-3) have the worst record in the N.H.L. and have been outscored, 58-37. They will continue to play without defenseman Mark Streit and forward Kyle Okposo for an extended period, but General Manager Garth Snow decided to change coaches now.
