If the New York Islanders make the playoffs, they'll play their postseason games in Long Island at the Nassau Coliseum - for the first round, that is.
All subsequent rounds would be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the team announced Friday.
According to the release, the decision to play the later rounds in Brooklyn is "reflecting that the Nassau Coliseum does not qualify as an NHL major league facility."
The unusual arrangement punctuates a nomadic season for the Islanders, who have split time between Barclays and the Coliseum. The Islanders plan on playing in a yet-to-be-built arena at Belmont Park, beginning in the 2021-22 season.
