For the first time in a very long time, the Nassau Coliseum was very light in numbers with the New York Islanders on the ice. Only 9,923 people came to the 13,971 capacity arena for the Islanders’ second game of the season.
Why was the number so low for just the second game of the year? Well, for starters the game was just moved to Nassau Coliseum a couple of weeks ago. It was announced when the Islanders did the groundbreaking ceremony on September 23, as part of the chunk of Barclays games that were moved to Uniondale.
