Lou Lamoriello has no qualms about the Islanders’ layoff or their move back to Barclays Center disrupting their playoff high.
After clinching a sweep of the Penguins on Tuesday night in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Islanders will wait to find out their next opponent — the Capitals lead the Hurricanes 2-1 in their series — but the location is set. Their past 14 home games have all been played at the Coliseum, but now the Islanders will go back to commuting to Barclays Center for the rest of the postseason.
“We’re not going to allow any change to get in the way of what we’re doing at this point,” Lamoriello, the Islanders’ president and general manager, said Wednesday on WFAN.
