BOSTON — The Islanders got a preview on Saturday night of what they can expect for Game 3 of their second-round series against the Bruins when capacity returns to almost pre-pandemic normal at Nassau Coliseum.
Attendance for Game 1 at TD Garden was expanded to close to the building’s full capacity of 17,850.
The Bruins had hosted 4,565 fans for Games 3 and 4 of their five-game win over the Capitals in the first round.
"I get excited for it," Islanders center Casey Cizikas said. "As a hockey player, going into another team’s building and the crowd is roaring and they’re going, it gets you amped as well.
