Islanders Beat Bruins, Head To Stanley Cup Semi-Finals

UNIONDALE, NY — The Barn was rocking Wednesday night as the Islanders defeated the Bruins 6-2 to advance to the Stanley Cup semi-finals.

Vaccinated fans were packed into Nassau Coliseum to watch the game. This is the last season the Islanders will be calling the Coliseum their home ice. Starting next season, the team will be moving to its new arena at Belmont Park.

But for now, the Barn is still their home, and fans are hoping that the Islanders will bring home one more Stanley Cup win to close out the arena.

Soon, the Isles will go up against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the semis. Those games, unfortunately, will be played in Tampa Bay. The schedule for those games hasn't been announced yet.

Though the Islanders have won four Stanley Cups, it's been decades since the team brought the trophy home. The won it four consecutive times, from 1980-83, and haven't since. Fans are hoping they'll close out their time at Nassau Coliseum with one more big win.
