Barclays Center continues to be a nice stopover while the Islanders await word on a permanent home.
Despite past complaints about location, poor ice and attendance, the Islanders are 52-23-13 since moving to Brooklyn to begin the 2015-16 season.
“The guys just seem comfortable. They play well there,’’ coach Doug Weight said Monday. “The strange thing to me, even when we’re not on our game — I can’t say it’s the crowd or the atmosphere, whatever it is — you just have a good chance to win. We’ve won more games maybe in that building that we feel like coming out of we didn’t play that great. We just find ways to win in that building right now, so I don’t want to talk too much about it. We have a good mojo there.’’
