The Islanders are fortunate enough to have plenty of local enemies within some semblance of driving distance to them. Given that the games are going to be a bit more expensive with the move to Brooklyn, it may be time to take advantage of some of them. The games that are somewhat local include:
| Saturday, October 31st | New Jersey Devils |
| Tuesday, December 8th | Philadelphia Flyers |
| Saturday, January 9th | Philadelphia Flyers |
| Friday, February 19th | New Jersey Devils |
| Sunday, March 6th | New York Rangers |
The game against the Rangers might be a bit difficult to obtain tickets to as it's on a weekend, against a rival and both teams are expected to do well.
