Islanders bringing Rangers rivalry back to Coliseum in schedule change

The Islanders announced Monday they are moving seven of their regular season games to Nassau Coliseum, which includes bringing the Islanders-Rangers rivalry back to Long Island.

Two of the relocated games, which were originally set to take place at the Barclays Center, are against the Rangers on Jan. 16 and Feb. 25. The Isles now have 28 games scheduled at the Coliseum for the 2019-20 season. The Jan. 16 game will mark the first time the rivals have played at the Coliseum since March 10, 2015, a 2-1 Rangers win.

After the 2014-15 season, the Isles moved their home games to Barclays Center, but starting last year they split their home games between Barclays and the Coliseum until their new Belmont arena is complete.
