Nassau Coliseum will be able to accommodate more fans for the playoffs than it did in the regular season.
The Islanders still were working on a final attendance figure on Monday after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced at his press conference in Manhattan that 50% of the Coliseum will be used for fully vaccinated people.
"Congratulations to the Islanders," Cuomo said. "They are a great New York team."
"Thank you for saying yes to Islanders nation today," said Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky, who appeared with Cuomo at the press conference.
Specifically, Cuomo announced that 50% of playoff tickets will be available to fully vaccinated people, who must remain three feet apart.
