Islanders will have to win without Coliseum from here on out

PITTSBURGH — A victory for the Islanders was a wave goodbye for the summer to the Coliseum.

The Islanders completed the first-round sweep of the Penguins by way of a 3-1 win in Game 4 on Tuesday night, so there will be no more postseason games this year at the Coliseum. As decided by the NHL, the club will play its home games for the second round — and any other rounds necessary — at Barclays Center, where they haven’t played a regular-season game since Feb. 16.

The Coliseum was a rollicking venue for Games 1 and 2 of this series, and likely would have been again if Game 5 had been necessary for Thursday night.
