Count Denis Potvin as another Islander looking forward to the team’s temporary return to Nassau Coliseum.
Before Tuesday night’s Panthers-Islanders game at Barclays Center, the former Islanders captain, Hockey Hall of Famer and current Panthers TV analyst said he was thrilled by the news.
“I was so excited,” he said. “I can’t wait to call my first game there, really . . . My immediate thought was that it would be great to call a game there.”
Potvin has worked many games as an analyst at the Coliseum, but he figured that experience was over when the Islanders moved to Brooklyn.
