Bloomberg Sports reports that the Islanders and Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, Mikhail Prokhorov’s holding company, have agreed to have the NHL club split their season between Barclays Center and Nassau Coliseum.
The Coliseum, which went through a two-year $180 million renovation, had been home to the Islanders for three decades before they moved to Brooklyn in 2015, which has been a disaster, both on the ice and on the bottom line, with low attendance, obstructed seats, poor playing conditions.

The New York Islanders will play 12 home games next season at the renovated Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, rekindling ties with Long Island fans ahead of a move back from Brooklyn, according to people familiar with the matter.
