Mitch Korn reunites with Trotz on Isles' staff as director of goaltending

Barry Trotz has lured another familiar face to accompany him in his new gig with the New York Islanders, as longtime colleague Mitch Korn has joined his staff as the club's director of goaltending, the team announced Thursday.

Korn worked with Trotz with the Washington Capitals for the last three seasons, and their relationship spans back to their time with the Nashville Predators.

Trotz also brought Lane Lambert to Long Island as an associate coach earlier this month after they worked together on the Capitals' bench for four seasons.

Korn will be tasked with rectifying the Islanders' disastrous goaltending situation, as the club ranked dead last with 293 goals allowed in 2017-18. He'll be working with newly acquired goalie Robin Lehner and last season's backup netminder Thomas Greiss in an effort to fix things in the blue paint.
