Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo set Feb. 23 as the date sporting venues in New York state can start hosting at 10% of capacity. Still, Islanders president and general manager Lou Lamoriello isn’t exactly sure when fans will be back in Nassau Coliseum.
The first possible date would be against the Bruins on Feb. 25. But Lamoriello said on Sunday he doesn’t know if all health and safety protocols can be met by then.
"I don’t think you can assume anything, there’s a lot that has to be done," said Lamoriello, who became the third GM in NHL history to reach 1,300 wins when the Islanders beat the Bruins, 4-2, on Saturday night at the Coliseum.
