TAMPA, Fla. — Nassau Coliseum is guaranteed at least one more live NHL playoff game this week. But the venerable stadium known as "The Barn" will first be open to Islanders’ fans on Monday night for a viewing party as the team faces the Lightning in Game 5 of their semifinal series at Amalie Arena.
"All I have to say is, ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’ that we will be holding this viewing event tomorrow," Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said in a statement. "Big shout out to Jon Ledecky – the best owner in hockey – and the NHL for letting Isles Nation come together to cheer on our boys as they defeat the odds and keep skating their way to the Cup.
