If the Islanders end up having to play postseason games at Barclays Center, this weekend’s victories over the Avalanche and Wild in front of spirited crowds offer some hope for success.
Late last month, The Post’s Brett Cyrgalis reported commissioner Gary Bettman would decide whether the playoffs will be contested at Barclays or Nassau Coliseum. In the succeeding weeks, Nassau County executive Laura Curran and state assemblyman Ed Ra have written letters to Bettman, lobbying to have the games on Long Island.
“I don’t really think about that,” Islanders defenseman Ryan Pulock said.
