LAS VEGAS — Changes are coming to the Islanders’ coaching staff.

General manager Lou Lamoriello said after Saturday’s draft that the team is letting go of assistant coach Doug Houda, who ran the defense and penalty kill.

Houda was the subject of intense criticism last season as the Islanders ranked dead last on the penalty kill, posting historically bad numbers in doing so.

Lamoriello said Houda’s replacement will be named in short order, as soon as Monday.

John MacLean and Benoit Desrosiers will be retained on coach Patrick Roy’s staff.
