The first step in the return of Islanders fans to Nassau Coliseum came last Thursday, when 1,000 Northwell Health front-line workers attended a game against the Devils as the Islanders’ guests.
The next step comes this Thursday, with 1,391 paying customers expected to watch the Islanders host the Flyers – the first of seven games for which the state-mandated ticket limit of 10% capacity was sold out.
"I’m excited that we have fans coming back," team president Lou Lamoriello said on Wednesday.
