Isles say goodbye to Brooklyn… for now
First-place squad beats Edmonton in potential Barclays Center finale
There is a chance, albeit a small one, that the New York Islanders have skated on the Barclays Center ice for the last time.
With Saturday night’s 5-2 victory over Edmonton on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, the Metropolitan Division leaders finished off their regular-season slate here in Brooklyn.
One night earlier, the Isles learned that if they manage to reach the playoffs later this year — for the first time in three seasons — their first-round postseason home games will be played at the renovated Nassau Coliseum, known these days as NYCB Live.
