Islanders returning home to Nassau Coliseum for preseason game
 

http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/t...6&q=60&o=f&l=fThe Islanders will be returning to their ancestral home, albeit briefly. The Isles will be playing a preseason game against the Flyers at the newly re**vated Nassau Coliseum on Sept. 17, the team an**unced Thursday. Tickets go on sale June 29 online or the following day at the Coliseum box ******. All season ticket holders will have the opportunity to buy tickets. The Islandersâ?? last game at the Coliseum came on April 27, 2015, a first-round playoff win over the Capitals. They lost the ensuing Game 7 in Washington and moved to Brooklyn for the 2015-16 season. Since the Islanders left for the Barclays Center, the Coliseum underwent an extensive re**vation that included a new facade and an overhaul of the arenaâ??s interior. The re**vation, in typical Long Island fashion, was bookended by a pair of Billy Joel concerts. Joelâ??s show on April 5 re-opened the arena. With the Islandersâ?? tenancy at Barclays Center uncertain, there has been speculation that the team could return to its former home on the Island, which is **w owned by the same group that owns Barclays. The team recently began renegotiating its lease in Brooklyn. This article was originally published on SI.com
