The Islanders weren’t just potentially playing for their playoff lives in Saturday night’s Game 4 of their second-round series against the Bruins, but Nassau Coliseum’s as well.
UBS Arena at Belmont Park is targeted to open in November so this is the Coliseum’s last go-round as an NHL playoff facility.
"I think our attention is just on the series and doing our jobs," Cal Clutterbuck said. "I don’t think we have enough time and effort to really sit there and be nostalgic about the building. The building is great and it’s loud and we do love it but there’s no extra thought being paid to what it means in this building.
