Mitch Korn, former Director of Goaltending for the New York Islanders, has returned to the Nashville Predators to work under Barry Trotz. Korn, who previously worked with Trotz in Nashville and Washington, will now oversee all goalie coaches for the Predators. Piero Greco, the current Islanders goalie coach, remains with the team despite Korn's departure.

Longtime goalie guru Mitch Korn is back with the Nashville Predators to oversee their operation at the most important position in hockey. https://t.co/tApMd7EU3I
Obviously, #Isles have HOF goaltender Patrick Roy to help Iya Sorokin. However, Roy isn't Mitch Korn. No one is Mitch Korn. Will Roy now speak his mind more? Will Roy be working with Sorokin this summer? This is an enroumous season coming up for Sorokin.
Despite Mitch Korn leaving, it's been confirmed that goalie coach Piero Greco is remaining with #Isles.
Losing Mitch Korn To The #Preds Is A Big Loss For Ilya Sorokin, #Isles @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/fR4NPivYOm

Korn worked two training camps with #Isles G prospect Henrik Tikkanen. I remember Korn talking so much with him on the ice, especially this past camp. And now Tikkanen, 23, might be NYIs top goalie prospect, shining in 18 games with Bridgeport (2.10 GAA, .930 SV%).
From Greiss and Lehner, to Greiss and Varlamov, to Varlamov and Sorokin, Mitch Korn played a pivotal role in #Isles goaltending success since 2018. He's now left the island to rejoin Barry Trotz in Nashville @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/ukQ4kxkgib
As of now, Piero Greco, #Isles goalie coach who handles the day-to-day goaltending and the one HC Patrick Roy says makes the goalie decisions, remains. Greco came over with Lamoriello from Toronto in 2018. He was not part of Trotz group, like Korn was. https://t.co/HS8SCHcLuS
