Isles drop final Barclays Center dress rehearsal
Petrov Scores, Hickey Injured in 3-1 Exhibition Loss to Capitals
The dress rehearsals are over for the New York Islanders at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
The next time head coach Jack Capuano’s squad hits the ice on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, it will be squared up against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in the regular-season opener, a historic inaugural contest for Brooklyn’s newest major pro sports franchise.
The Islanders, who will officially complete their preseason slate Sunday night in our nation’s capital, got a goal from Kiril Petrov with just less than two minutes remaining in Monday’s 3-1 exhibition loss to Washington.
