PITTSBURGH — The Islanders could have played their last playoff game this season at the Coliseum.
With a 4-1 win over the Penguins in Game 3 of their first-round series Sunday afternoon, the Islanders took a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven contest with a chance to sweep in Game 4 on Tuesday night. If they complete the sweep, then they would move on to the second round, where their home games would be played at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, as would be the case for any subsequent rounds.
This was the decision announced by the NHL on Feb.
