Lou Lamoriello has no doubts the Islanders will play whatever home games they have next season at Nassau Coliseum. Maybe even with fans in the building at some point.
"We will definitely be playing at the Coliseum next year, that is a confirmation," Lamoriello said on Tuesday.
The Islanders expect to move into their new UBS Arena at Belmont Park for 2021-22 — Lamoriello said seat selection for season-ticket holders would begin next week — but the Coliseum’s availability has been in doubt since Mikhail Prokhorov’s Onexim announced in June it was shutting the building.
